shitty first draft response

Sydney Meyer

          while reading the article shitty first draft I realized that everything she was saying is true. When I have a paper due for any class it is always so hard for me to start the essay. When starting an essay I try to plan in some way whether that's making a chart, writing down any ideas, or even just talking about with someone else. If I turned in my first draft essays my professors would think I'm crazy, mainly because they are just all over the place and need some cleaning up. I liked how at the end of the article she said that the first draft is the down draft where we write anything down on the topic that we can think of. The second draft is called the up draft because that is when we do our best to fix the first draft as best as we can. Finally, the third draft is called the dental draft because we look over everything we make sure that everything in in line and make sense. I thought that the names for these drafts can be helpful to understand what we are supposed to do for each of the drafts that we right.

    Sydney, I completely agree with you that this article really rang true for us college students who must complete drafts and drafts of our work before submitting a final copy. I personally have seen the progression and growth that comes from writing out all your ideas first and drafting your pieces until perfection.

    It's also very hard for me to start essays too, so hopefully the "shitty first drafts" technique can really help!

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.
