Week 11 - High, middle, and low styles from the edited collection

Week 11 - For your blog, Refer to high, middle, and low styles with what you read/worked on from the edited collection.

The prose that I am reviewing from the “edited collection” appear to fall on into the style of “middle”, closely related to an academic style. The authors are discussing the benefits of tool that student use in developing their portfolio of projects, and ten to fall into the academic way of writing as the topic is mainly about academia. The style is generally in the “middle” and tend to not focus on the general reader, but more of the person in academia, technical writing or technical communication in some manner. In reviewing the edited collection chapter, I approached the reading as a general interest reader, not that familiar with the “inside baseball” of academics at the instructor level. At time I struggled to understand what the writers were expressing, but after stepping back , I realized they were using a “middle” style in their writing, not quite at a level that fits the category of “high”, something I was not that familiar with. The areas that were difficult for a general reader were noted in the review comments posted to the edited chapter.
