Bird by Bird by
"A warm, generous and hilarious guide through the writer's world and its treacherous swamps." --Los Angeles Times Advice on writing and on life from an acclaimed bestselling author: "Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"
From Sentences to Essays: a guide to reflective writing through reflective thinking by
Writing is a daunting activity not only for language learners; it is, in fact, challenging for everyone who wants to communicate their thoughts persuasively and accurately. When students engage in speaking activities, they communicate extraordinarily interesting ideas and thoughts. However, when asked to write these ideas down into coherent texts, they seem helpless. This book is intended to help students tackle their writing challenges by proposing a different approach to writing. It incorporates grammar, vocabulary, literature, and writing into a simultaneous and coherent whole, presided by reflective thinking. There is hardly any doubt that writing and reading are related activities, and that both rely on creating meaning. When we read, as well as when we write, we find ourselves in the process of becoming. We change our knowledge and understanding along the way. In truth, today more than ever learning a language needs to be perceived as a deeply meaningful process. This book is meant to make that possible by rendering learning both enjoyable and meaningful.
