review project 2

By -
Throughout this process, I think I am most proud of the fact that I actually enjoyed writing it. Because I picked a topic that actually interested me, I was able to  write, and keep writing with minimal pain. This is different then my usual struggle to expand on things I have no interest in. 
I am not really sure what I would change in the essay, but if I had to pick something I guess it would be the literature review. I don't really remember learning that, so I have no idea what I even ended up doing. I really liked getting the annotates bibliography done before the essay. This made it easy to use my sources and to create the works cited page when I was ready to submit my paper. I did like the outline, however I ended up tweaking my arguments so I don't think it was the most helpful. I learned how to structure and write a research essay. I had never done one before. Also, I have only ever written one other essay this length, so I think it is helpful to practice writing extensive essays. If I could change anything, I guess it would be the peer review. This really depends on the writing and the reviewers, but I felt like throughout the whole process the was the least helpful.

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.
