Journal 2: Reflection On Project 1

By -

When reflecting on the drafts completed within the process of project 1, I think I improved most on my transitions, my analysis, and the coherency of the essay.  I believe these three features were enhanced each time I revised my essay because I would typically always find sentences that could be rewritten or added to.  Thus, the most important aspect I learned from this project is the revision process itself.  I never had many opportunities in the past to revise my essays multiple times so having the access to do that for this paper brought to my attention the importance of the revision process.  I’m sure if I had another week to work on this project I would find something within my essay to change regarding the overall structure and information within my essay.  I would probably find ways to condense some of my thoughts and maybe expand more on others.  Additionally, the only aspect of the prompt that I would change would be the years each genre had to be created.  I believe that one could write a well-written analysis using two genres from the same time period.

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...
