Bernhardt

1. " If we were to encourage students to experiment with visible features of written texts, we would increase their ability to understand and use hierarchical and classificatory arrangements. Because of the opportunities it offers for visual inspection, writing heightens awareness of categories and divisions, changing the way people conceive classificatory relations." (35)

2." The typical classroom essay is composed of sentences which resemble each other in their full, declarative structures, arranged in paragraphs with low visual identity(except for boundaries, signaled by indentation)." (36)

3. "The law of good continuation or good figure also underlies the effect of emphasis in a visible text" (40)

4. "Traditional advice to vary sentence structure or sentence openings to avoid boring the reader or to keep sentences from sounding choppy would be misdirected here, where structural isomorphism must be maintained." (41)

5. " Instead of attempting to base teaching practice on scant and tentative results, we may find it more expedient to view the rhetoric of visual design as an evolving art." (42) 

1.  The quote is something teachers should really keep in mind, Many teachers used the same methods of teaching for their students the same old blackboard with notes, little to no visual features that can help students. Many teachers don't realize their mistakes in teaching but this quote obviously states what they should be doing. Obviously presenting something visually is a whole lot easier than presenting something that's just bland and has nothing attached to it, it also helps students remember easier as well.

2. What's being said has been what I've been forced to do my entire life. The typical classroom essay that teachers use in their rubrics of grading. But sometimes there are things left to wonder about, the fact that it really oppresses any real creativity, every student seems to be using the same format and keeping writing safe verses creative. At the end of the day, these classroom essays that are bland seem to be all teachers want. 

3. The quote lays the law down, what's basically needed for a good communication is what isn't there. What's underneath all the text and the real meaning are the only way there is going to be "good communication". There is no other way that it can happen without it. It's obvious that without any of these traits that the world would be a mess, it's important to realize the true ways of communication.

4. This quote really gives a good solid advice for struggling students, it's important to not have sentences become bland, and it's worth taking a risk to vary the structure of them to get readers interested. Obviously one of the most difficult tasks about writing is keeping readers interested and continue reading your work. But while you are taking risk there are still rules you must follow so it doesn't go too far and ending up sounding like an idiot. 

5. Another quote that gives another piece of advice to teachers about teaching. It states that it's better to accept visual arts into classrooms because again, they have such a huge beneficial way to help students. It's important sometimes to keep an open mind on not only teaching but learning as well.
