really responding

#1. In the past while I revised peoples work I would be short and sweet on the paper but when handing it back to them I would explain what I meant. thinking about it know if I did that when thy go back to revise their work they may not remember what I explained. therefore, it make sense to provide more information then you think necessary.

#2. When the author said don't be supportive and give the writer the benefit of the doubt it stuck with me because when people read my writing I want them to tell me the truth and not say "oh its great" or "I don't think you need to change anything" I know there are issues with my writing that's why I'm asking your opinion so please tell me what you think. Also, I liked how he said don't try to sound like a teacher just sound like your normal self. I like this because if someone is reviewing my paper I want them to tell me what they think rather then tell me what to do.

#3. I have done peer review in the past and if it is a grade to peer review someone's paper people usually just do the are minimum to get the grade and don't actually give me advice on my papers so I would say its been negative in that situation. Now, if I am just asking someone to read my paper it has been positive because they will actually read my paper and give me good advice to improve my writing.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic.

I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

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...
