I agree with this article. Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with an idea for topics for an essay.This article goes on to speak about good ways to get started with choosing a topic.

It said to start, a student should google the topic. Get some background information on the topic.
Normally, I don't really google my topic, I sort of go off of my personal experiences if the topic allows, then get background information. Then I like to make list and write down my sources for different paragraphs and my thesis.

After picking a topic and sources, the article says, to dissect and reread the sources. Its time to ask questions about the articles or chosen sources. I think this is a great idea and I normally do this already. But it says when reading, answer these questions
          1. Who's saying what?
          2. Are there terms that need to be defined?

After picking the best topic, according to the article, what about it interest you the most? Do you think it will help you stay up to par with what the assignment ask? When I tend to settle on a topic, I don't normally go into depth with it like the article calls for. But I think it make great points to really have a solid idea to write about.

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. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

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.
Jamica Williams What are some subversion examples the author mentions? A few books the the author mentions It's just a plant, Heather has two Mommies, and Gloria Goes Gay Can you think of other 2 books or movies that are subversion? Scary movie 1 and 2 Why are they subversion? Scary movie is subversive because it takes into account the the rhetorical factors in most scary movies and joke on them. Its more of a comedy than a "scary" movie. Each of the characters do exactly whats expected. They run the opposite way like up the stairs, trip and fall multiple times, and even live with the ghost that is haunting them. What do you think "GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP?" Who should be the target audience for this book? The audience of this book is any adult/parent. Because its probably R-Rated its targeted to older people, and anyone can find this humorous.
