1) While writing project 1 I believe that I improved the most with organizing my paragraphs and the structure of my essay from the first draft to my final draft. Having multiple drafts helped me to reread my writing and making it more concise and organized.
2) The most important thing that I learned from this project was the importance of multiple drafts. Having many drafts gave me multiple chances to check my writing. I was able to make sure that not only my paper made sense but that it clearly answered the prompt as well as check for grammar mistakes.
3) If I had another week to work on my essay I would probably go into more detail while checking my wording. I would make sure that words are not overused but used in the right amount to help the essay be easier to understand and make it flow as easily as possible.

4) If I could rewrite the prompt in the syllabus I would allow the first few drafts to be the full 1500 words that the final draft requires. I think this would help because then I would have had a chance for my peer reviewers to review all of my examples. This would help me to make sure that my examples that I added in later follow the flow of my essay not only in my own opinion.

    Hi Emily
    I'm glad to see that you learned how much several drafts can help you in your writing. Regarding a later revision in your final draft, you could schedule an appointment at the reading writing center. Unfortunately we don't have time for two peer reviews.

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 ...
