The author in this writing talks about how all writing should be thoughtful and that is what teachers and professors are looking for. Critical thinking is not or should not just be used in writing, but it can also be used in everyday life.” To be a critical thinker you have to have an informed opinion about the text but also a thoughtful response to it.” “Critical thinking is also a process that is fundamental to all disciplines.”

Discourse Communities
This writing is describing the different discourse communities. It describes some of the different types of communities and it also lists out the expectations for something to be considered one of the different types of communities. Along with that it tells you why some people join social and professional communities, what the relationships are like and if there are different levels to the communities. People can be born or taken involuntarily into these communities due to their families. Some of the communities I am apart of is the Athletics community, team sport community, and softball community. I am also apart of the academics community, the social sciences, the sciences and the biology communities.
Exercise #1 freewriting
Before I decided which exercise to do I read through all of the exercises and after reading Exercise 3 what is something that you write about outside of assigned writing and that one stuck in my brain. I like to write about all of my dreams. I do not always remember my dreams or always write them down, but I try to. I feel like writing down dreams and keeping track of them and trying to remember every detail about them really opens up your brain and makes you think more. I also feel like it is a good way to get things off your chest because maybe something in your dream was something that you wish would happen in real life or something that has happened or maybe it was even scary. I just love thinking about my dreams and I like to be able to go back and look at my dreams because sometimes they are just so odd. Sometimes I wish I could know the exact reason for a dream because I feel that most dreams mean something even if it was just one little detail of the dream theres always some sort of meaning. Ive noticed though that when i am overly exhausted I will not remember my dreams or if I do a lot of times they are bad dreams. Now all of the dream stuff is off my mind and I really cannot think of anything else besides I got quite behind in school the first week because I was just not prepared to start again so now I am trying to catch myself up and get all caught up to take the stress off and I want to try and get ahead in my classes because all of mine are online and I get very stresssed out with online classes because soemtimes I forget to check a subject to see whats due or sometimes I dont know where to go to find certain information.
Critical thinking assessment review
This assessment helped me to think about what I really need to still work on and what I am doing better at. One thing I need to work on is my placement of evidence and incorporating the evidence in my writing. Another thing I need to work on is my bias in my writing and becoming more open to newer ideas. Something that I do pretty well is finding good detailed evidence for my writing.
