Journal 2: Prompt

By -


     My final draft was much more substantial than the first draft. Since there was a higher word count limit, I was able to add more information regarding similarities between the texts and deepen my analysis of the genres. I also used information received during feedback from the first conference or the peer review on Friday to improve grammatical errors.
      The most important thing I learned from the project was how to write several drafts of the same paper. Though it was extremely dull and frustrating to write about the same thing again and again, I believe it will be necessary for other papers later on in college. It was painful, but acquiring this skill now is vital since improving my writing habits at the beginning of college is better than later on when my grades have already suffered.
     If given another week to work on my essay, I would find and fix more grammatical errors. I would also focus on making my analysis of each genre and how they interact more in-depth. However, I don't think I would really want another week, because I'm tired of writing about the same thing for so long.
     If I could rewrite the project prompt in the syllabus, I would get rid of the requirement that the adaptations have to be on separate sides of the year 2000. I believe it would have been possible to write an analysis on two works even if they were made during the same time period.

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 ...
