First Draft

By -
Writing my first draft went as I had planned. Once I had thought of a topic I wrote down the points that I wanted to address and began to write. Once I started writing it was pretty easy for me to continue since I had already planned out what I wanted to say. The only thing that stopped me from writing was the fact that we had to stop at 800 words. The word limit forced me to stop writing at a spot that I wanted to continue. I think that if the word limit was lifted it would have helped me continue to develop my ideas and thoughts. Overall for a first draft, I thought the experience went really well.

    I agree with you that the word count was limiting. I had to completely omit one of the topics i was going to analyze in order to not go over the 800 words.

"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

By -
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...
