Freewriting activity

1.       1. For project one, I made multiple drafts of my full paper. There was little research included in project 1 versus project two. In project 2, I started with the annotated bibliography and then made my outline based off of the annotated bib. I then went on to make my first, second, and final draft based off of suggestions from my peer review and teacher conference. So the major difference between the two projects was project one had multiple drafts of the same thing where as the research paper had different steps and an outline that helped me create my final draft.
2.     2. I think the annotated bib and the teacher conference draft helped me work on my final draft better. With the annotated bib, I was able to get information on all of my sources and then organize the sources’ information into an outline. The teacher conference helped me clean up my paper and better organize my topics.

3.      3.  I enjoyed project 2 a little more than project one because I was able to pick a topic that I found not only interesting but educational. I learned a lot from searching for my information and looking for appropriate sources.

    I found that there was a greater amount of research in project two than in project one. After all, project two was a research paper.

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...
