Journal 2: Prompt - Amiyah Lytle

By -
1.  While writing project 1, I think I improved on my details and support most between my first and final drafts. My first draft was a bit rough in including examples from both the movie and the story. However, I feel my final draft included both aspects rather well for the time we had.

2. The most important thing I learned is that writing sucks. It's a long, tedious process that frustrates me to no end but learning this was crucial. Now, I understand that these drafts are intended to help you through this writing process. They may, in fact, help improve my overall project one grade.

3. If I had another week to work on my essay, to be completely honest, I would change my whole subject. I would rewrite a new essay on a topic that is more familiar to me. Project one was sort of difficult because it didn't really give me too many options because of the year restrictions.

4. I'm not necessarily sure I would rewrite the prompt in any manner. The prompt itself is clear upon explanation. However, for the sake of the question, I suppose I would explain certain aspects of the adaption analysis options a little more.

"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...
