Screen shot




















Reflection: My screen shot helped remind me that composing in digital space is drastically different from composing with pen and paper. When writing with pen and paper if you wish to edit something you can add something in the margins or cross something out or draw arrows between ideas. This makes the composition very messy and leads to a need for a lot of drafts. However when composing in digital space one can edit and manipulate the composition as they go without any difficulty. The ability of composing in digital space to delete a certain section or copy and paste a sentence to a different part of a paragraph gives the writer much more freedom when writing.
