Post-Essay Questions

By -
1) I'm most proud of getting the essay done in general. I have a problem sometimes where I'm extremely reluctant to do big projects until the day before they're due, and that kind of happened with this paper. I pulled through, though, and I'm actually fairly satisfied with how my paper turned out.

2) If given more time, I would add more analysis of the articles and how they related to my topic. I think I was a little lacking in that portion of the essay.

3) The outline and annotated bibliography were the most beneficial in the writing process, I think. With the outline it helped me get an idea of how I wanted to organize my thoughts in the essay which I sometimes have issues with. And with the annotated bibliography, it helped me get a much better grasp on most of my articles which helped me writing the essay later.

4) My takeaway from this project was that I need to work on my time management skills. My biggest problem working on the essay as a whole was not allowing myself enough time to really make the essay what it could've and should've been.

5) I personally wasn't a fan of the overall format of the essay. I didn't really like separating it into sections with headings and whatnot. I'm most used to the standard format that's just an unbroken essay.

Chapter 1 Response

After reading this chapter I realized that choosing a genre is an important and rather strenuous task, as one needs to execute the process to their own liking.   In my own personal experiences, I was never given the opportunity to explore the various genres offered, as I was always told to write a certain way in order to receive passable scores on either the AP and AICE examinations.   Therefore, this article on genres and the different ways to relay your central message to the audience was very intriguing to me.   Additionally, this chapter further enhanced my knowledge on the three rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos.   My tenth grade AICE English Language class briefly explained these devices, so I was always very eager to learn more about using these appeals within my own ideas and the variations within each.   Thus, these appeals will help correlate the various forms of media layouts used to capture the readers’ or the audiences’ attentions which, in my opinion, is an

Project 2 Reflection

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.

Based on the feedback I received from the peer review session, there are minimal aspects to my research paper that need to be changed. The most important change that needs to be completed before submitting my final draft is I need to make sure to fully develop my opinions within my conclusion. I also believe that there are a few sentences that could be enhanced within my literature review. I believe that these changes will make my essay more coherent to readers.
