ENC 2135-198: Genre, Research, and Context

Haley Ketchum My plan is to finish my three genres and finish my website. My website is nearly finished, but still needs a few touches to make it look good and work efficiently. I’m still unsure of how I am going to do my three genres. I forgot about how one of the three genres has to be non-digital, or a remediation, etc, so I need to replan my genres so they fit these requirements.

For my project I need to develop a subversion and a non-digital component to my project. One of my ideas is to bring in a fishing pole and a bucket and fill it up with water and maybe Swedish fish as my subversion as my topic is about fish and their environment. It is a little hard to make a subversion of such a serious topic but I think this could be one way to do it. Also I have to ready my website and make it presentable for the class.

Julie Thayer I am going to put final touches on my website and hopefully find a parents blog I can link to my website. I have a few ideas for my nondigital portion of my project, either a newspaper or even magazine. I'm also considering possibly adding photos I have taken or even adding memes.

Megan Heller I am going to make two choice maps, one per country, and compare what is seen as "mentally ill" based on standards. This will allow me to put in the cross-cultural analysis done in the paper. I will finish my four panel comic as my subversion between two countries, and keep the survey results on my website, but keep the link to the survey to showcase what it looks like. I will also continue to find ways to incorporate blank spaces in my website while maintaining a sense of cleanliness and professionalism. I will keep neutral tones and lines separating different parts of the website.

Earlier this week, I was completely confused as to what exactly my task was for project 3. Thanks to my peer review, I have gained a better understanding of what I am suppose to do for project 3. I had only developed the un-digital subversive genre remediation, which were five memes. My peers recommended I do a twitter page and a survey for the other two genre remediations that I am required to do. I plan on developing my twitter page on gun control and for it to be active as long as possible. I also plan on informing twitter users of my topic. My subversive un-digital memes will remain the same because it captures the attention of my audience, which are students who support gun control. I will make the questions I input into my survey opinion based, so that I can see how students feel towards gun control and how they feel making current gun regulations stricter will impact the number of mass shootings we have in the United States in the future.

I am going to make my Kahoot game survey into a subversion genre by making half of the survey comical, and the other half of the survey serious. I also am going to keep my Twitter account active. My brochure will be filled with information about genetic engineering. For my website and brochure I am going to use colors like blues, greens, and grays because those colors are associated with science and technology.

Meghan Hawk ENC 2135 After reading my peer review, I have gained a better understanding of how I should complete the remainder of the genre remediation project. Prior last class, I had only developed one remediation. However, with the help of my peers I was able to expand on my ideas and create the rest of the genre remediation. In addition to a subverted meme collage, I will also include a blog with three pages of different accounts that gesture supports language comprehension. This blog and its' posts follows genre conventions and has an audience within the classroom, since it will be presented to my classmates. In addition to this, I will attach multiple TEDTalks that show just how gesture goes to increase the comprehension of the audience. With this remediation, the audience is very much outside of the classroom--with viewers online as well as the physical audience. Final touches will be added prior to Tuesday.
