Recchio

Thomas Recchio writes of the multilevel analysis which can be applied to critically reading text and discourse. It is interesting to know that students possess meta-narratives and are completely unaware of it. This seems like something that is appropriate for the type of writing proposed by Bartholomae in “Inventing the University” but I find it difficult to understand how this can be applied to students who are struggling with very basic levels of reading comprehension and composition who often end up in beginning English courses. While I think that the paper definitely contains they can be woven together in order to accurately convey the intent in the paper to the reader. I like Recchio’s final comments because they give the author the necessary feedback which can either be used to correct this paper or applied to another paper.
