Free writing

1) My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 by being more careful in what I write and how I write it. I took more time in perfecting my research paper and making sure that the sources I had were appropriate. There was more background work that I had to do for project 2 than project 1, as project 1 was mainly my own argument that did not need an expert's opinion.

2) I liked being anle to write three drafts, as we did in project 1 because after the revision of the second draft there might be errors in parts of the draft that I may have overlooked. Also, I was able to have more time to reread my paper to make sure it sounded appropriate.

3) I enjoyed project 1 the most because I was able to form an argument that was original by talking about the effects of adaptations and how that may reflect the audience and society as a whole. I had more room to discuss and break down my argument rather than trying to explain previous research, as in project 2.

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.

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.
