Mock Annotated Bibliography

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

The main point the authors of this article are trying to get across is whether or not parts of the brain that are involved with processing human behavior, are also associated when processing dog behavior. The author does fMRI scans showed activation in the mirror neuron receptors. The results came to be that specific neuron receptors like lSTS and IFG are more responsive to dog behavior that is considered difficult to respond to, in comparison to behavior that is easy to respond to. The experimenters also researched if dog ownership has an effect on interpreting dog behavior. Being the dogs owner did have some influence in having a better understanding in the behavior, but not enough to make it significant. This could be helpful for someone that wants to research the effects a dog can have on people. It can also be helpful for people researching the similarities and differences between human and dog brains.

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.
