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 authors in this article are informing their readers if parts of the brain that process human behavior are also involved in processing dog behavior. In order to attain accurate results on this matter, the author gives FMRI scans to see which parts of the brain are used when processing dog behavior. Due to FMRI scans, the author is able to state accurate information on the topic. The result states that brain regions are more receptive to dog behaviors that are hard to respond to than those that are easy to respond to. The authors also performed a search on whether owning a dog has an effect on understanding dog behavior. Being a dog owner, does influence ones understanding in a dog’s behavior but it does not have enough factual information for it to be considered accurate. This article withholds information that can be helpful to people that are researching about the parts of the brain used when interpreting dogs behavior as well as the differences in dog and human brains and the way the parts of the brain work.

    Citation is correct, the thesis is there and is correct, she also put the results of the experiment and who they would help.

      Quotes may be helpful in the future when actually writing the paper.

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.
