Writing my First Draft - Amiyah Lytle

By -
My experience for writing my first draft was terrible. I absolutely hate writing drafts. To me, writing an assignment is just easier when I sit down and write it all in one. However, I tried to really gain the experience and benefits of writing drafts. I deleted multiple paragraphs, sentences, and words repeatedly. My experience was not too similar to the reading "Shitty First Drafts" due to the fact that my first draft was not a child's rambling, as she described. I actually had the ideas and evidence I wanted to use. Yet, my drafts were similar to the text we read because I was struggling to an extent. I felt the stress that she did when trying to write her food critic reviews. Overall, I'm still against writing drafts because I feel they're unnecessary.

    For me, writing drafts has always helped my writing but I never experienced writing a "Shitty First Draft" either. I usually have all the main points that I want to include in my paper planned out before I start writing too so, I usually write my first drafts with some organization as well.

    i agree, I had a hard time constructing a draft that is only half of the essay. I ended up deleting and moving around lines constantly.

    I believe that writing drafts are essential in a writing process because it allows for me to formulate my ideas and to revise them before publishing the final result.

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...

Taylor   I really liked the video that Taylor made because it was a good visual representation for people who don’t like football. Personally, I like football, so I think it is necessary to have more research done for the players wellbeing. Sarah I really liked how Sarah chose such a relevant topic to today’s times. I really liked her journal entries because it showed how much a person is affected by others. No one should be judged based on their gender. Luke B I really like that he used a survey because it gave a semi accurate representation of the people here. I think it’s really funny that he chose the topic of makeup because most of the girls here always are done up. Kathryn The Spotify playlist was a very unique idea. I like that she included songs that help her study, or can be helpful for studying. Music does tend to affect a person mood, so it was an interesting genre alteration. Logan I really liked the twitter page that he made because it hit his ...
