Chapter 9 response

By -
     In chapter nine the topic of revising your work is addressed. The importance of revising your first draft is stressed a lot in this chapter. Both reviewing your own work and having another peer review your work is a good way of revising your ideas. Although I do not typically like others revising my work, I find having others read your work and sharing what they think could be improved is very helpful. If I revise my own work I am not as likely to make as many changes as compared to a new set of eyes on my paper. The author of this chapter also says that having questions to ask your peer reviewer can be helpful as well. I had not thought about this before, usually I would just let the person go ahead and review my work without saying anything. This is a strategy that I will try in the future so that I can have the person reviewing my paper look at specific areas. Overall, the chapter was very helpful in providing new ways to have your paper revised.

    I agree that the questions are beneficial because they serve as a guide and checklist and will only help one enhance their own essay.

    Me too. If I review my own paper, typically the only changes I make are grammatical.

    Whenever i try changing my own paper i always think its perfect and dont have to change much. But when someone else reads it they seem to want to change a lot.

    I can agree that asking ourselves questions to answer in our writing is a great tactic. I don't always do this but I am going to attempt to do so from now on.

Navigating Genres Reading Response- Taylor Wilhelmy

By -
"Navigating Genres" by Kerry Dirk makes you really think about what a genre is. Whenever I thought about genres, I always thought of it as the type of writing that is being created. All throughout school, we were taught that a genre was used to describe a novel such as nonfiction, fiction, fantasy, science fiction, etc. I never really thought of a piece of writing having a genre but now, after reading Dirk's piece, I now realize that writing does have a genre. Dirk also points out that genres are used to help people accomplish a goal. I never thought a genre could do that. I always thought it was used to just categorize novels or short stories but, now that I have read this piece, I now realize that genres are important because, if you write in the wrong genre, the message that you want to portray can come across completely differently then you had intended. The example that Dirk used of George Washington and his State of the Union Address. By using this genre, Washington...

Project 2 Reflection

1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high...
