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.

    Although I liked project one more, I really like your reasoning for preferring project two. It's always a good thing to expand your knowledge about things you didn't know before, and making yourself more credible about something you enjoy talking about.

    I think project two was more enjoyable as well since we had an opportunity to choose any topic. I agree that project two also required a lot more research, and we got to learn about databases and credible sources which is beneficial.

    I had the same feeling about finding it easier to write my final draft after I had already had my first draft reviewed for suggestions.

    I agree as well that I preferred project 2 over project 1. I already knew the stance on my topic that I was going to take, however, because I was able to expand my knowledge on it, it gave me all the more reason to argue that side.

    I preferred writing only two drafts too because when it came to the final draft I didn't have to revise too much. I also enjoyed writing project two the most because my topic was personal to me.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...

Picture Rhetoric

This ticket is advertising an upcoming event that the sorority, Delta Gamma, is holding. It is rhetorically effective because it is colorful and completely delivers the idea that there will be a variety of different desserts at the event. The candies work very closely with theme and helps students to easily look at the ticket and be able to understand what the event is. I think that the size is very effective for this advertising ticket. I also think it very well informs the public because it states the time the event will be held and the date, as well as the address.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War Throughout the sixties, antiwar protests sprung up across America due to the United States' controversial involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War Protests are marked as being some of the first major anti-war protests in the States. In today's society, there are various non-violent anti-war protests around the globe. These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
