Really Responding

Haley Ketchum

1. How did this text surprise you?

This text really did not surprise me. Usually when writing a response, I try to mimic what the teacher would writ, and would try to be short and sweet about it. I always tried to give more compliments than criticisms.

2. Do you think the strategies in this text can help in peer review? Mention two that stuck out to you and discuss your opinion on them.

Yes, there were some new strategies I learned which should be useful. For example, I usually left short and sweet comments. However, Straub said that longer comments are better, as it is constructive criticism that should be longer in order to give an adequate explanation. Also, when I peer review I would read the paper twice. However, Straub says that we should really do a quick scan, which makes more sense.

3. Have you done peer review in the past? If so, has that experience been positive or negative and why?

Yes, last year in high school I took a writing class where every single one of our papers were peer reviewed, and each student would peer review three other papers, so I was very familiar with it. The experience has been positive, because when three people would review my paper, I would get lots of helpful feedback that helped my paper.

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.
