Free Write

1. My writing process for project 2 was of course, a lot more analytical. It was a lot like writing a DBQ. I had to look at the sources I collected and found a way to group them in a way that was most beneficial to my paper. In project one I simply watched two movies and it was more of a compare and contrast fathering than arguing something like I did in project 2. Unlike project 1, I found it easier to find the “so what” factor in project too because it was pretty much given.
2. Draft 1 helped me the most, especially with project two because I got my criticism right away. This way, it was easier for me to organize my paper because I was given the idea to use subtitles. Where it would normally take me a whole day to finish my paper, I finished my final draft in a few hours and did not need a second draft. I feel as help with my first draft was very beneficial.
3. I actually enjoyed project 2 the most because it was something I found interesting and was passionate about, trophy hunting. Yes, it was more difficult to write in having so many sources however, because I had all of these sources I didn’t find myself feeling as if I did not have enough information to put into my paper.

    I agree that it was more difficult to write a paper with so many sources although it did help in the long run when needing examples or new information to support a point.

    I agree that writing only one draft can be a lot easier when it comes to writing the final draft. I also found project two to be the most interesting to write about.

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.
