Annoying ways response

By -
I think "annoying ways" gave me good insight on how to use quotes and citations in my essays. I also liked how it gave examples of bad ways to quote and then the ways to fix it. I agree with the article when it states how when you just add a quote into the beginning or middle of a paragraph, it could be confusing. I have experienced this personally when I read articles online or have peer-viewed. When someone just sticks a quote in out of now where it makes me take a step back and think: what was the purpose of that? I learned from the article that the most efficient way to use a quote is to introduce the source of the quote and then do an analysis. By doing an analysis, it makes your audience understand why you included the quote and what effect it has on your overall argument. Therefore, it makes the whole paper flow. By reading "annoying ways" it will help me with the construction of my research paper and the use of quotes and citations.

    I agree with your points and also feel it is important to analyze a quote instead of just putting it in randomly.

    I agree that the examples provided were very beneficial. Making sure as a writer, that you are on the same page as your readers is VERY important, and I personally can forget that I may not have the same thought process as my readers.

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...
