Journal questions for Essay #2

By -

1.       What are you most proud of in this essay?

In this essay I was mostly proud of the fact that I did all my work not only for the assignment but for myself. This research that I did will benefit me in the future and I’m glad to have some of it done now and make the research I’ll need to do in a few years a little easier and lighter.



2.       What would you change or add in the essay if you were given more time?

If I had more time I would probably change some of my evidence and make it more narrowly focused on my topic. Some of the evidence I had was really good, and I liked it but some of it could’ve been clearer and better explained what I was trying to say



3.       Considering all the steps we took, which one benefited you the most and how?

The annotated bibliography benefitted me the most because it had my evidence in there with the explanation, so it made it easier on my not having to find the evidence and explain it as well.



4.       In terms of writing, what did you learn from project 2?

I learned how to formally write a research paper in this project. I wrote one in high school, but it was much more relaxed and did have all of the subheadings in it, so this paper was really a formal introduction to a research paper.



5.       If you could what would you change about this assignment?

I would change a few of my paragraphs because they did not quite flow with the rest of my paper, but they flowed enough that they made sense. If I had the time I would just want some more clear and concise thoughts in my essay.

Navigating Genres Reading Response- Taylor Wilhelmy

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