Free Writing Exercise 3/27

Sophia Fundora
1. My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 in the way that I had a plethora of research papers and academic journals to dig through for information for my argument versus in project one I mainly had a single book and a single movie to go off of.
2. the first official draft I submitted and had reviewed by my professor was the most helpful because I had actually polished my shitty first draft prior to my meeting because I wanted a response on a more thought out piece of writing versus a couple suggestions on some bullet points.
3. If you asked me before I wrote Project 2, I would've told you Project 1 would be my all time favorite because it contained a lot more free writing but since I focused on a research question that related to my major for Project 2, I truly did enjoy writing it much more than our first assignment.

  2. I agree that my first draft was the most helpful as well. I felt lost in my organization of my paper but as soon as I was given advice and tips on how to organize it, my final draft was so much easier

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...
