I thought this reading was very helpful because I have never thought to do a lot of these things. For example, I have never tried free writing to figure out which topic I would write a paper on, and this concept seems very helpful. Also, I typically keep my writing to myself, but talking about your ideas for topics to people will help decide what is best to write about. One of the bigger concepts this writing talked about when discussing brainstorming is mind mapping. For me, I do not think I would use this concept, only because I would rather see an organized list compared to a map. The reading also discussed exploring topics through preliminary research. I agree that it is extremely helpful to know conflicting views on your topic, and to know what others say about it.

    I agree with your statement on mind mapping. I wouldn't prefer to use that tactic for brainstorming and, like you said, would rather make an organized list.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.
