Naming What We Know Chapter 3 Pt 1 (Dani):
● 3.0
○ “An ideology is a system of ideas and beliefs that together constitute a comprehensive worldview.”
○ While creating any education program: “What sort of social group do I intend to apprentice the learner into?”
○ Everything we do reflects our ideologies
● 3.1
○ Commonly, writing: act of encoding or inscribing ideas in written form
○ “Through writing, writers come to develop and perform identities in relation to the interests, beliefs, and values of the communities they engage with”
○ “Writing also functions as a means of displaying our identities.” who knew?
● 3.2
○ “Writers’ identities are, in part, a function of the time when they live” -why just writers? This is true for everyone…
○ School is merely one historical context
3.2 (Yancey)
>threshold concept that a writers' histories, processes, and identities vary makes composing very complex. And makes it hard for students as well.
>That is why a single approach of uniform writing can not be achieved.
>Writing is very complex, and also at times paradoxical
3.3(Lunsford)
>Writing is never isolated(John Donne)
>All writing, even if for oneself, is affected by events leading up to that in some sense
>Writing is often viewed and associated with punishment, however that mindset can change with a growth in confidence from writers.
>Sometimes prior knowledge which a writer might like can hold them back, if it is not actually beneficial to them. "A bad practice"
3.4(Estrem)
>"writing-as a means of thinking, a form of inquiry and research, and a means for communication within a discipline-plays a critical role in that identity transformation and expansion.
>Often writing for school, threaten their sense of self, since they use such a different mode of writing in their daily lives
>Some people often have a bad idea that writing is simply a process linked to the development of new, professional identities.
3.4(Villanueva)
>Writing provides a means whereby identities are discovered and constituted.
>There are a lot of identity politics when it comes to writing
>Identities are multifaceted
>There are limits to what can be anticipated about what readers know, asume, or believe.
>In other words, because all writing is inflected by power dynamics shaped by identities and ideologies, writers must become aware of the how those identities and ideologies are represented in their writing
