Blog #2 - Process for Creating Lunsford Summary

In order to fully understand what Lunsford was talking about in her piece entitled "Collaboration, Control, and the Idea of a Writing Center", I had to reread it over a second time. I felt that her writing was very confusing because her definitions of each Center was unclear. She also didn't give a definite answer as to which side she was for - either Storehouse, Garret, or Burkean Parlor.She said that it would be ideal to have a Burkean Parlor center which was kind of like the Storehouse Center but since all three possessed similarities, it was hard to see what made them different.

The first time reading through, I highlighted key ideas that I thought would be important in creating my summary. I then wrote down in my journal all of the key ideas that I highlighted in order to see it more clearly. I placed each idea under the three categories named after each center which helped me understand what each one was all about. As I wrote the summary, I put everything in my own words using her main ideas as my guide.
