For this discussion I’d like you to use the “Why This is Good” article from Wednesday as a model to discuss the Peck article, “James Baldwin was Right…” AND the article “The Corona Virus Generation.” Describe in detail two specific ways that the articles are strong. Think about the deliberate choices the writer’s made, the things you’ve learned about this semester about style and metadiscourse, the Writing Exercises, and things that Banaszynski pointed out in the Barry article.
Read here next: The first part is TWO PRIMARY REFLECTION POSTS THAT ARE AT LEAST 200 WORDS DESCRIBING that these articles are strong in thorough detail. Describe one specific way the articles are strong differently in each post.
Here is the first article “Why is this good” :

McWhorter’s article begins with a hook that reels in viewers, as he says, “For language buffs, COVID-19 is a potential sci-fi plot.” As readers, we don’t know what to expect within the article. However, McWhorter leads us in an unexpected direction: language. This hook is simple yet effective and creates high expectations for the article. McWhorter also makes sure to consider different perspectives on the language issue during quarantine. The article focuses on more than McWhorter’s opinion and is nuanced in its approach. Specifically, McWhorter considers whether quarantine will cause American households will develop their own form of language, but instead leads us down a different path, as language will change, just not for adults. McWhorter therefore gives further credibility to his approach by looking at it from different points of view, rather than just one.

McWhorter’s article uses a form of slightly casual speech mixed in with strong sentences with well articulated points. His points are never too academic or too niche to grasp. I think one way he does this is by putting his article in a very easy-to-read casual sense. For instance, McWhorter writes “Todays corona kidsCOVID kids, sorrywill already experience a double summer slide. ” I pulled this section because that little “slip up” was not really a slip up. It was left in and written intentionally. The importance of such a slip up comes from the tone of the topic. We all switch constantly between saying Corona and COVID, but we all also know that COVID is the more technical term. What this authors choice shows us is that he too gets caught up in the terminology. He shows to us that we can talk informally while also making good points. It makes the reader relate to the author, which makes for a more interesting article to read.

The McWhorter article takes the big ideas of the “Coronavirus Generation” and relates them on a personal level. By comparing COVID’s impact on language in school to the way second languages are spoken at home, it makes the impact easier to understand. The comparison especially stood out for me because I grew up in a bilingual home, so I can see first hand what is lost when language is passed down that way. My mother is fluent in Spanish, I barely speak it, and my kids don’t speak Spanish at all. McWhorter also implies that the window to correct this is closing, if isn’t too late already, when he talks about the “summer slide” and how this time away from the classroom is setting kids back. This gives the Article a sense of urgency.
