Revising Pg.480- 496

By -
I think that the article was helpful for highlighting some key areas to look for when peer review the essays in class. The idea of listing questions to ask the people that will be reviewing my essay is new to me. In high school when we did peer revisions we usually just switched papers and began looking for ways to improve it. We did not follow any questions given to us beforehand. I think that reading the article about revision can be helpful if used in the correct way. It did not seem substantially impactful to me.

    I agree that the chapter helped find key points to when doing the peer reviews because I also in high school when peer editing would just look to see if they had certain things in their essay, not really commenting on things they can add to it.

    I agree with you that in high school there wasn't any guidelines for revision, so I would just look for grammatical errors. The questions provided in the chapter are very helpful.

    I agree that having questions to guide the revision is helpful because it reminds the reader of what they are looking for in a writing piece and what they can comment on or change.

    I agree that having the list of questions before would be beneficial. I also would mostly look for small grammatical errors when peer editing in high school.

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

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...
