Journal Entry 9


"We are constantly critiquing, adjusting, modifying,
revising"

"Whereas young writers are often
inspired by the great works of literature"

"Teachers use these artifacts to
engage the children in discussing and reflecting on their
design process and thinking process

The first quote is interesting to me because it states that the creators of the scratch program are actually practicing what they preach unlike many individuals. The second quote is so true kids aren't concerned with the grammar used in a story, they just want to read something that is interesting to them. I believe the content of a story is much more important than the words used or the length of the story.
I found at interesting video that relates very well to the article here
