Presentations Day 2

Taylor Wilhelmy: The use of the video helps to give a visual and show the impact of a hard tackle, and how it can lead to a concussion. The video places football in a different perspective because many people do not think about the seriousness of a concussion.

Sarah Liem: The journal entry was impactful because the first journal entry show that masculinity can hinder men from showing or expressing their feeling because they may feel that being "emotional" is a feminine quality, and men should hide their feeling.

Luke Berard: I like the use of the survey because it show how different people use makeup, and to show that people should not depend solely on makeup for beauty.

Kathryn Herlihy: I like the Spotify playlist because it show the different types of music students listen to while they study, and how the music can affect their academic performance.

Logan Green: The poem shows the powerful message and impact that music, such as hip hop, to bridge to cultures, and to avoid cultural appropriating hip hop music. Hip hop can be used to help others learn and respect other cultures.

Emily Melcher: The Tumblr blog gives background information about vegetarianism, and it provides different information about the health benefits of vegetarianism and how it can prevent diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.

Emily Stock: The Pinterest  shows protests that supported the legalization of physician assisted suicide, and information about physician assisted suicide.

Amiyah Lytle: The trailer shows how mass shootings are very prevalent in our society, but not many steps are being taken by institutions in our society to prevent mass shootings, such as gun control.

John Martinez: The fictional story about a person receiving an interview shows how the person invested in cryptocurrency and how they have benefitted greatly by investing in cryptocurrency.

Sean Keenan: I like that the blog post gives graphs and information on how the publishing industry is being negatively affect by Amazon.

Madison Hill: I like how the Tumblr blog uses memes and videos to show how people judge their body image based on social media posts or pictures.

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.
