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.

This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...
