Really Responding

The way this writer says its best to critique an essay is the same way my ENC 1105 class said to. The way Richard Straub taught his students back before he passed, isn't much different than what I was taught last year. He would like us to be as honest as possible and in a polite manner. Help them out as you would like another person to do for you.The essay begins with asking two questions that I based this response off of.

1) Which of the pieces of advice for responding you already follow

- When I critique someones work I try to tell them the things I think would make them a better writer not being rude.
When writing the comments make sure not to sound like an editor or a teacher.Write like how you would speak to the student.Don't mark up the text like a teacher would.
-Try to respond with full sentences and elaborate on each comment.
- Try to match the criticism and the praises you give when responding

2) What pieces of advice are new to you.

-Not giving my opinion on how I would write something
-tell the writer what you got from the text
-What was interesting
- What was confusing
-Make a mental checklist of what you want to look for during the reading.
- Take into account the who, what, when, where, why, and how. Meaning look at the terms of the assignment.
- When reading the essay, did the writer accomplish the goals of the essay

I believe each of the points Straub made, can help me become a more effective responder.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...

Picture Rhetoric

This ticket is advertising an upcoming event that the sorority, Delta Gamma, is holding. It is rhetorically effective because it is colorful and completely delivers the idea that there will be a variety of different desserts at the event. The candies work very closely with theme and helps students to easily look at the ticket and be able to understand what the event is. I think that the size is very effective for this advertising ticket. I also think it very well informs the public because it states the time the event will be held and the date, as well as the address.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War Throughout the sixties, antiwar protests sprung up across America due to the United States' controversial involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War Protests are marked as being some of the first major anti-war protests in the States. In today's society, there are various non-violent anti-war protests around the globe. These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
