"It is extremely important to understand how important the title of your article or book is. Your title is the door to your article. If you have an old , ugly and rusty door few people will come up through it.
Now, how you build a good title? Think why people would want to read your article: could help them somehow? Would they get information from it? Would they learn something? Reading your article would improve their quality of life somehow? These are questions that you should ask yourself in order to start building a POWERFUL title"
Moreover the title has to be faithful to the content and to the proces through which the content was built. Having " academic writing for dummis or whatever it is" as the title of our book is not fair nor faithful to our process. Accordingly I propose "I READ THEN I WRITE students authorial voices" as our beautiful DOOR.

I agree with u! It is very important to have a good title not only for our texts also for the book :)
ReplyDeleteYesss!!!!
ReplyDeleteFellows...I agree with J and C. I really think that we can find a better title for our work. If you remembered I proposed: "Spectrum of different voices in writing practices". But I don't like the word "spectrum": it reminds me something scare.
ReplyDeleteSo... I was looking for a better word, and I want to propose:
"Prism of different students voices in writing practices"
What do you think?
Waiting for others opinions…
EVERYBODY AGREES, BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY OTHER PROPOSALS, AND TIME IS OVER, SO?????
ReplyDeleteI LIKED THE TITLE PROPOSED BY JOHN ALEX, I THINK IS PRETTY ACCURATE, IT IS ALSO INVITING FOR THE READER. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE PROPOSALS MY OTHER DEAR CLASSMATES HAVE, BEFORE WE DECIDE SOMETHING. THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING!
There is another proposal: Diana's. And I like it. Only 3 people voted for Dummies' title.
ReplyDeleteDear Diana: you still have problems with adjectives in plural nouns, mainly with "other". As a noun, "others" is right but not as an adjective.
And there's no need to write in capital letters. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS YELLING!
Diana's and Jhon's proposals. Don´t you see them, dear friend?
ReplyDeleteNew Adventures in Academic Writing:
ReplyDeleteA Collection of Different Students' Works
I like it. But I have the following suggestion:
ReplyDeleteAdventures in Academic Writing
A Collection of Different Students' Voices
(I like the word "Voices", as you can see)
