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.

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

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.
