Chapter 5 Response

By -
     Chapter 5 explained the many steps required to write a research paper. Before reading this chapter I was somewhat nervous about writing this research paper. However, after reading the chapter I took away some points from the chapter that can help me in writing my paper. For instance, In the chapter it was mentioned that a subtopic in your research paper that still relates back to your main topic can benefit the main idea of your paper. I found this interesting considering how specific and precise our research question must be. The addition of a subtopic could add more helpful information to your essay. Also reading this chapter I learned what appropriate sources to use when researching my topic. Websites such as google scholar or sites from the school databases. Overall, this chapter helped me feel more comfortable in writing this upcoming research paper.

    I totally agree on this use of scholar databases in our research process for this upcoming project. I am still somewhat nervous about this paper but I did take away some good points from this chapter, as well.

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...
