Response to #1 Discussion question
After reading “What Happens when Basic Writers come to College?” by Patricia Bizzell, I have concluded that I agree with Bizzells' perception that students can gain by not giving up their own world views when it comes to writing. There can be many benefits of drafting papers with ones view of the world in mind. Drafting papers with your own orginial view of the world can help you make a connection between the prompt and a personal exprience you may have gone through. Connecting on a personal level can help engage the writer in his/her work. It can also help you understand the plot of your writing being that you are able to relate to something familiar. Another benefit of drafting your papers such as Bizzell suggested is that it may spark a connection between your writing and the reader. The person reading your writing may favor the same world views as you do which may lead to them reading more of your writings which benefits you as a writer.

Good points, so using your own world view lets you find an experience to write about and it also may build some common ground between you and your teacher. Keep it up!
