Annie Whiddon Class Questions from 3/27

  1.  The annotated bibliography assignment made the writing process for project two slightly simpler. For project one I did a shitty first draft and had to later piece it all together. I would say that two was easier because of the bibliography as well as participating in the Dinner Party assignment which made my ideas flow together better. 
  2. I think that transferring the first draft to a final draft is most productive for me. My first drafts are always really messy, and the final draft is more elaborate and has a flow of ideas. I can cut out and add where it’s needed and have more direction. I also develop new ideas from my original ones and make my points stronger. 
  3. Project two was more enjoyable for me because I was passionate about the topic. My first project was extremely rushed and I had no connection to the narrative. Project two was interesting to read about, and I feel as though I gained valuable information from it.

Writing Activity March 27, 2018

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic. The personally think that writing a first draft and then revising it in order for it to be my final draft to be very helpful when writing a research essay. I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

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...
