Journal 2

By -
1. After I finished all my drafts, I think I improved the most on the structure of my essay and elaborating on my examples.
2. The most important thing I learned from this project is to create many drafts, not just one. In the past, I have always just made one draft. However, after going through the process of conferences and peer review, there is a big difference in my writing.
3. If I had another week to work on my essay, it would probably still be the same. I felt like I had plenty of time to work on it and I am happy with the final outcome.
4. If I could rewrite the prompt in the syllabus, I would probably change the length of the essay. I felt like at first it was hard to make my essay the necessary length. However, as I elaborated on my examples, I found it easier to meet the desired length.

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.

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 school. This paper was more formal than other research papers I have written.
