* Inventing The University *

1)· What does Bartholomae mean when he says that students must “invent the university” when they write in college?

A)He meant that the students must bring something to their writing to be unique from others. By saying "Inventing the University" he is saying that the student will learn how to walk the walk in other words that the university is going to teach him how express himself in writing that at the end the student will be teaching the university something.

2)· What does Bartholomae suggest is a way for students to become “insiders” within academic discourse?

A) Insiders means to write what you feel in and out, to overlook past the writing and put some real emotions to it, the only way it can unique and original is if you write with feelings in it.

3)· Summarize some of the differences between the two examples of student writing that Bartholomae examines, and Bartholomae’s opinion of these examples.

A) Essay one show uniqueness and creativity but it was poor written. He didn't use to many details, he only prove on how he was unique but it didn't show any feelings towards it. Essay two was well written, it showed how the little girl really felt about her music and how been creative in it wasn't creative at all. She showed a lot by writing this essay, Bartholomae's opininos are just like mine, because for it to be a very well written essay you need to put all into it, not only the situation.
