Freewriting activity

1.       1. For project one, I made multiple drafts of my full paper. There was little research included in project 1 versus project two. In project 2, I started with the annotated bibliography and then made my outline based off of the annotated bib. I then went on to make my first, second, and final draft based off of suggestions from my peer review and teacher conference. So the major difference between the two projects was project one had multiple drafts of the same thing where as the research paper had different steps and an outline that helped me create my final draft.
2.     2. I think the annotated bib and the teacher conference draft helped me work on my final draft better. With the annotated bib, I was able to get information on all of my sources and then organize the sources’ information into an outline. The teacher conference helped me clean up my paper and better organize my topics.

3.      3.  I enjoyed project 2 a little more than project one because I was able to pick a topic that I found not only interesting but educational. I learned a lot from searching for my information and looking for appropriate sources.

    I found that there was a greater amount of research in project two than in project one. After all, project two was a research paper.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Mary Katherine Rankey annoying ways

The reading "Annoying Ways" is all about the annoying ways people choose to use their sources and the things they can do to change those quirks. The reading discussed the proper ways to cite sources and to cite quotes that the writer uses in their paper. The reading also discusses the importance of where to put a quote. Often times I find the perfect quote, but put it in an awkward place in the sentence, which not only makes my work more sloppy, but also takes away from the message of the quote. The author uses a lot of analogies in his writing to explain how the annoying ways of improper uses of quotes can mimic annoying things in real life. The reading taught me ways I can fix my writing style to fix those annoying habits I have.
