301 Blog 4 Prior Tracing Process

When I view this document I can see many forms of Co-Authorship in pages E and 17. What I mean is that the Author had outside input from the teacher and one of their peers. This is an unavoidable process when people give you input on your work. Especially when you turn a text into an instructor. Many instructors do not take credit for the Co-Authorship these new young writers are not as experienced and know the things that the they know. Document E also is an example of Text Based interviewing by asking the author questions that challenge their writing process and make them think about the contents of their particular piece.

Before the instructor made comments on the Cover letter draft it showed the basic concepts which are Inscription, Composing, and text. This process is where people come up with their big ideas and outlines and is a very important part of following where a text is going. I can look at this draft, read the comments by the instructor, then go and look at the final draft to see what changes were made to the document. It is relatively easy to trace and can show you exactly where ideas came from. This draft was developed through the writers job skill free write and the writers Audience Free write.

The project obviously started with the Initiating text. It told the author exactly what needed to be accomplished in the text and which way to go about it. I believe that the last text produced was the writers response to the project. I feel that it is as important as the text itself because the writer states everything that he or she learned from the process.

It is a difficult and tedious process to try to trace texts, and see exactly what the history of that particular text is. But if you pay attention and try to follow certain examples and clues, you can figure out what a writers process was in going through with writing a certain text document. Many writers spend months on one particular document, that doesn't always mean that a writer was really lazy and spend an incredible amount of time on a single document, they had many drafts and revisions which make that document so much more interesting to see how it was written.
