Cubing- Group Discussion

Cubing involves analyzing a topic in 6 different ways. This can help with the writing of the first paper because it requires you to really think about the topic in a more detailed in-depth way. The exact way of using the cubing method may need to be slightly changed when writing a story based on a past experience, but can still help in generating details for the first paper. It appears that each of the 6 parts of the cubing method becomes more and more involved with the topic. It goes from just describing something to knowing enough about it to argue both for and against it. It also requires you to make connections between it and other things and to see how it is used.

Texting- Argue

Texting can be both good and bad depending on the situation. Some good things are that helps people stay connected, it’s quick and easy, sometimes its better then calling someone, and everything is recorded in writing already so you don’t forget the conversation. Some of the bad things are that it can cause bad writing habits, the messages can be misunderstood, and it can be distracting in some situations. In my opinion it is more helpful than hurtful.

Ducks- Compare

Ducks are similar to many other birds, some more than others. They live both in the water and on land so they are more like a goose than a pigeon. They are also similar to many reptiles because they lay eggs. They can also be similar to a boat because they use their tail feathers to steer them through the water like a boat uses its rudder. They are also similar to platypuses because both animals have bills and webbed feet and live in both the water and on land.
