Chapter 7 - Amiyah Lytle

By -
This chapter covers the following topics: Quoting, Paraphrasing, Summarizing, and Avoiding Plagiarism. In the section of quoting, the main take away is that quoting is an exact copy of the author's words used when the author is either an expert or their words specifically will be analyzed or have a certain meaning. In the section of Paraphrasing, the main take away is that essentially paraphrasing is a quick synapse of the overall message used when the audience is different from the original piece or you don't want to quote directly. In the section of Summarizing, the main take away is to capture the authors ideas in a short summary used primarily when you need to capture the main ideas without the little details. In the section of Avoiding Plagiarism, the main take away is to correctly cite your sources.
Personally, this chapter was mainly review. However, it still did harbor some good information to remember when I write my research paper. I think the aspects of Quoting and Paraphrasing will be. most useful in my paper since we can't have long quotes. These two will best help me to capture the ideas of my sources.

    I can agree that this chapter mainly served as a review of what we have learned in previous years; however, I still think that many of us have still gotten pretty confused on small things.

Navigating Genres Reading Response- Taylor Wilhelmy

"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 ...
