Annie Whiddon BBG Chapter 6

Chapter 6 of BBG is extremely helpful in regards to writing our research paper. I liked reading that the sources are actually our main starting points. They help us to make informed decisions for our paper and begin the process of generating new ideas. Also, the text was very detailed, and I found that to be beneficial. For example, the chart that explained what examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources is most likely something I will reference back to during the writing process. Lastly, I liked the overall point that was reiterated throughout the entire book so far. When writing our own work and evaluating other's, it is crucial to evaluate the rhetorical situation, purpose, audience, mode, and media. Of course, for the research paper, the most important aspect is validity.

    I agree that reading sources helps find your main topic for your paper, and that this book has been very helpful throughout our writing assignments so far this semester.

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.

"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...
