Journal 3

Katriel & Farrell contribute the topic of scarpbooking on our conversation about everyday writing. Scarpbooking is used by many people in order to preserve memories. At the begging of the reading, theres a quote, "Whenever I make my scrapbook, I always keep the thought in the back of my mind that ill be able to show my children exactly what I was doing." I like this quote to due how true that statement is. You can use scrapbooking as a way to show everyday writing you performed in the past. By scrapbooking pictures every year and then eventually sharing those with you're children you can show them what you were doing at their age. You can show them you're everyday writing you performed at their age. I like how Lonnie said, "even though scrapbooks are not the normal "everyday" it contains many things that are the memory of one's everyday and can be debated as an everyday piece of work." I completely agree with that because everyday writing is limited to one form of writing, it varies to a wide variety. 

I believe that scrapbooks and Zines are examples of everyday writing. Many people might argue that they aren't a piece of everyday writing but they have many features of everyday writing in them. Yes, a scrapbook might not be all words but it still has some and can have pictures in them. Just like the saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words," a picture can leave more of an impression and thought into somebody's head that say a book can. Zines should be considered everyday writing because they can be anything you want as it said in the passage. A Zine can be anything you want to create and thats is what everyday writing has a lot to do with. As Katelin said, "they give you general guidelines and tips on how to construct a zine, but you are not being formally taught how to make one." Everyday writing is about something you just do. You don't always have to be taught how to make everyday writing.
