Journal 2: Prompt

By Anonymous -
1. After completing my first draft and fins draft, major improvements were made. I was able to expand on thoughts, add intriguing and deeper analysis, connect it smoothly back to my thesis, and overall compose a smooth final draft. My best overall improvement was made in connecting points and examples back to my thesis statement.
2. The most important thing i learned from this project was the importance of shitty first drafts. Rather then completing the essay all in 1 sitting, I was actually required to submit a really rough first draft and overall, I personally believe my essay was better off. In the future I will be sure to complete a shitty first draft before completing my final draft.
3. If I had one more week on my essay I would change very little. I feel as though after the peer review, I was able to clearly identify the weak spots in my essay and then fix them.
4. The project prompt that was written in the syllabus was of great use while writing the essay. It was very clear as to what I was being asked to analyze and what the essay had to primarily focus on. As I referenced back to the instructions, my essay kept improving and improving. I would change very little about the prompt instructions in the syllabus.

    I'm happy to see you learned how shitty first drafts are important. It allows you to go back to it on a different day and re-think your choices.

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 ...
