I can start asking myself the harder questions that possible require some research, this is something I am willing to try in the future.Īs of now, seeing writing as a conversation is what I normally do, but possibly way to casually. But If I could add some complexity and actually challenge myself to start thinking critically. I normally don’t like to dive in to deep with the “Why?” question, because soon I will ask myself, why do I exist, that alone is to much for me to handle. Although I do this quiet often in everyday life, what I could do more is the second habit of mind, adding complexity. I think of alternatives to either make things turn to my benefit, like when visiting my aunts house, I can do homework there rather than sitting around waiting to get back home. Although these are pretty basic and personal questions, I always ask myself them just so I could think more about what I am doing in my life right now and then, what I could be doing right now.
Like Why is that car a bright lime green or why has it become tradition to visit my aunt every Sunday. Now I don’t think to hard and complex when observing or ask myself a question with every observation but I know one I do ask myself a lot is “Why?”. “Inquiry typically begins with observation, a careful noting phenomena or behaviors that puzzle you or challenge your beliefs and values (in text or in the real world)” (Greene Stuart, 5).When sitting alone waiting, listening to music or in a car ride, I always observe what is around me. One I know I commonly use everyday is inquiry. But I do use some of these techniques naturally, possibly even before I learned about it the first time. I would be lying if I said I have never heard of these before, and I would also be lying if I said I follow every habit of mind that I have been taught.
The Habits of Mind, Inquiry, seeking and finding value in complexity, seeing writing as a conversation, and lastly understanding that writing is a process.
