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.

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.
