Brain regions

 Desmet, Charlotte, Van Der wiel, Alko, Brass, Marcel. (2017). "Brain regions involved in observing and trying to interpret dog behavior". PLOS one Edited by Sam Gilbert.

The main purpose of the article is to explain the experiment done to differentiate between the active parts of a humans brain when they are trying to interpret a dogs behavior compared to when they are trying to interpret another person behavior. According to the article, " Three functional fMRI runs were presented. The three runs were always presented in the same order and consisted of the following three tasks: PASSIVE task, INTERPRETATION task, and LOCALIZER task." This shows the way they tested the brain to see the functions of the brain that were active while trying to interpret the dogs behavior. In each step they used the same video however the person being tested was provided with a new task to focus on while watching the video.

    Overall I think you did a great job! However I would include the conclustion of the experiment and maybe the time frame in which the experiment occured.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...

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.
