Practice Write 8/30/16

What is academic reading and writing?
Before last week I assumed academic writing was two types of writing: creative writing and writing in response to reading a novel. In my experience my teachers would give us a few prompts to write about such as the theme of the book or questions about character analysis. My essays would consist of roughly five paragraphs: the introduction, three supporting, and conclusion. Last year I began writing more creative writing and I ventured off from the five paragraph standard essays. Some new concepts I have learned since then are critical thinking and conversation. When reading the textbook I learned the importance of getting ideas from others to include in your writing.
