Most Effective Presentation- Final Reflection

The most effective presentation of the class was not necessarily the project that received the most likes, views or shares; it was not the project with the most riveting topic, most original goal, nor the craziest presentation topic. I thought it was the presentation that was completed with the most passion and effort, which in my opinion, was Allison’s. Her Facebook posts were mainstream, but the effort that obviously went into creating the YouTube video and interactive online book was more impressive than many of the other projects. Time is an often overlooked resource and in terms of college students, it is the most invaluable; so to see a project that was completed because of a genuine concern for the topic instead of a genuine desire to merely complete the project was refreshing. Not to say that other projects did not reflect a large amount of effort and time and sleepless nights, by no means, but only to highlight the creativity and effort that was used in Allison’s project. Even though there are many other sites and campaigns that promote the same issue, the fact that Allison is only in college and still created propaganda of the same caliber of these other professionals is in itself impressive. I hope that her book sees much success as time goes on and that her idea continues to grow and prosper.

I thought Allison’s children’s book was such a neat idea too. I’m sure it took a lot of time and effort to come up with the story and of all of the images and details. You definitely have to respect her for committing to this project! I am going to look for her YouTube video now! 

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

Allison’s was definitely the presentation that showed the most passion about her topic, I totally agree. Her genres were fantastic and so creative. I mean i never would have been able to think about doing creating a children’s book, much less write one.

Presentation Reflection

I think all of the presentations were great and all of the topics were fairly interesting, whether the composer thought other people were interested or not. I think the best presentations, however, were the projects that included unique genres, so I will mention 2 projects here instead of one. Allison’s presentation was very interesting. Not only did she upload a video, but she also created a children’s book which is really impressive. I didn’t even consider this as an option so I consider it very creative and I’m sure she put in a lot of time into it. Kyle’s presentation was also one of my favorite presentations because his topic is interesting, he used a buzzfeed article, a podcast, and a photo essay. His buzzfeed article got an impressive response (although mine got 110 views hehe). I automatically respect anyone who does a podcast because I can’t even stand to listen to my voice on a short video. Also, he shared his photo essay with actual people face-to-face on campus and got them to respond to a few questions. I would have never voluntarily present my project face-to-face, so respect. I didn’t even like promoting my genres on my personal social media accounts. 

[brooke2135-blog]

Girl I forgot about Allison’s! Hers was definitely one of my top favorites. The book she made was amazing and I loved the video she made. I’m sure it took a lot of time and effort and it’s quite admirable.

I also really enjoyed Kyle’s. I also did a podcast, and I am with you… I can’t stand to listen to my voice either so once it was edited I cast it out of my mind. I also really respect Kyle for promoting his genres face-to-face, as I too felt uncomfortable asking people to visit my website, let alone talk to them face-to-face.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

Oh my gosh, i loved Allison’s children book! It was such a creative idea, and i never would have been able to come up with something like that. Her presentation was definitely one of the best ones.

Dunkin’ Donuts vs. Krispy Kreme

Dunkin’ Donuts is way better than Krispy Kreme in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Krispy Kreme donuts! They are absolutely delicious and their glaze is awesome. However, Dunkin’ Donuts’ donuts are just as good as Krispy Kreme donuts. Everyone says that Krispy Kreme donuts are better than every other donut company because they have the best glaze on their donuts. I do not think this is the case. I personally believe that Dunkin’s Donuts’ glaze is every bit as good as Krispy Kreme’s glaze that they put on their donuts. If this is the only reason Krispy Kreme is better, than that is sad. Dunkin’ donuts has so many options when it comes to picking out what kind of donut you would like to eat. They sell so many different types of donuts, like chocolate, and Boston Crème, and Jelly filled. You know what kinds of donuts Krispy Kreme sells? Glazed. They only sell one type of donut. Not to mention that Dunkin’ Donuts also sells drinks that you can drink to wash down the donuts. Krispy Kreme sells coffee, but Dunkin’s Donuts sells coffee, tea, flavored lattes, and vanilla chai. For someone who does not like coffee (for example, me) than Dunkin’ Donuts is better because they have more options to drink.

Presentation Reflection

Everyone had excellent presentations! Everyone really did an excellent job coming up with creative ways of communicating their topics. Even though most everyone’s genres were not effective when it came to circulating the information through social media (including mine), the ideas for the genres were very well thought out and creative. The presentation that seem to be the most effective was Kyle’s with his Global Warming issues campaign. His seemed to be one of the few people whose genres were effective in getting the information out into the world. His buzzfeed article was funny and informative, and it received seventy-six views. This is a lot. People really responded well to his article. He actually went face to face with people and shared the information with them. This seems to be one of the best ideas because it forces people to give feedback on the information right then and there. Kyle was able to collect data from talking to these people since he was dealing with them directly. The problem with social media is that people have such short attention spans. If they do not like a particular genre they may read a little of it, but they will just stop reading it and move on. Even if they do read through the whole thing, they are not likely to comment on the information, so going face to face is a good way to force a reaction from people.

Chapter 10 BBG Reflection 11.19.15

Well, I must say that this chapter really did give me some new ideas on what genres to use for this project… although it is a little late for that kind of thinking!

I like that this chapter mentions that the multi-genre project allows someone to break away from the usual forms of composition such as the research paper. This is something I have thought about since the beginning of the semester when I first laid eyes on our syllabus and what Project Three entailed. I’m not sure I am quite as excited anymore… terrified may be the more proper term for the emotion I am currently feeling… 

although Molly definitely showed me in class today that I am overthinking this project.

Anyways, back to the reading. I hadn’t really thought of making my pieces work together, although I am not sure why; clearly, it makes sense to do so. Thankfully, my pieces don’t clash and actually work together quite nicely.

I found out that I am mostly focusing on the rhetorical appeal of pathos when reading this chapter. Although, one of my pieces could be seen as utilizing logos as well as egos. But I definitely made sure to mix up my modes and media to keep my audience entertained. A video, podcast, and short informal writing are about as diverse as you can get.

Now, I am not sure if this is Brandi’s way of telling us to write a two-page introduction for our project, but I definitely read that in this chapter. I see how this is helpful but for someone still trying to get the pieces done a two-page introduction is daunting.

I also never thought about titling my project; I guess it had slipped my mind. There is so much that goes into picking a title that is memorable and that sparks the interest of the viewer. It will take a good bit of thought before I come to choose a title I am fond of.

Finally, the “design” part of the project is certainly how to package it. I plan on packaging my project on a webpage. Although it isn’t tangible, it will be able to reach a large audience and the design of the webpage itself will do the project justice. Here’s a teaser:

Good luck lovelies! 

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

I love your website! It looks like it is really coming along, and as for the title, i am in the same boat as you right now. I can’t decide what title to use.

Assembling a Multigenre Project

A multigenre project is a collection of three or more genre competitions built around a single topic…. hmmm this sounds a bit like project 3…

When thinking about the different possibilities of a multigenre project, you must consider the rhetorical situation. For example, if the audience you are trying to reach is a bunch of politicians, it may not be the best idea to use a tumblr blog as a genre. The book says we should think of each genre as a chapter that contributes to a whole. If your genre seems a little random to your topic, it may not be the best for you. 

The steps to assembling a multigenre project should be:

1. Introduce your project and provide context (I think for our purposes, this will be the 1,000 word explanation of our project)

2. Sequence your genre pieces- i think this step will come in handy when making our presentation for the class, we will want to pick the order in a way that makes sense and builds to the general idea of our project.

3. Title your project- i think this is an important step a lot of people neglect

4. Create an Author’s or Artist’s Statement- explain why you made certain choices and why you conveyed your message in the way you did.

5. Package your project creatively- if you want people to care, you better make it interesting

[brooke2135-blog]

Haha I love your gif at the beginning! I think you laid out the main points nicely; this is a really concise version of what we read and what we should keep in mind during the creation of Project Three.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

Your gif is hilarious! I love how you basically summarized the entire chapter in your reflection. It’s nice and short, but tells you everything that the chapter said. 

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

Chapter 10 Reflection

Congratulations everybody!! This is our last Tumblr reflection for readings!! The semester is almost over, and the holidays are almost upon us. Anyway, so this chapter talks about making genre projects in general, and then it goes on to talk about putting together a multi-genre project, like what we have to do for Project three. This first part of the chapter is basically a big review for what we have learned about how to make a multigenre project. It talks about how the genres you pick to create should further the point of your purpose and how you have to consider who your audience is that you are talking to. Then the authors go on to talk about how you have to think about how you want to use rhetorical appeals in your genres, and whether you want to use all three or just focus around one in particular, and how they have to fit into the mode or media you have chosen for your genres. Then the chapter goes on to talk about how to assemble a multigenre project. The first thing you need is an introduction that tells everyone what the overall theme is of the project. Your project needs an overall title that you can use in all of your genres. For example, in our project, it would be good to create a hashtag that you can use to promote your different genres. Overall, the project needs to be laid out in a way that combines all your genres.

Nov 17th Readings

[chesleew-blog]

I believe everyone can find something helpful in these readings for Project 3. I agree that this project is making me step out of my comfort zone, by creating these different genres and sharing them through social media.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

These readings were easier to read than the Bedford Book of Genres! The information was also very helpful for our Project three assignment, i agree. 

[chesleew-blog]

11/16

Analyzing Visual Rhetoric

The first part of the selection “Analyzing Visual Rhetoric” is very similar to what we have been doing all along in this course. You determine who the audience is, what the purpose is, what the genre is, and what the medium is. All along, we have been determining these genre conventions. However, this selection adds more. This calls you to look more at the structure, organization, and layout of a design. These are things we have never considered in detail. While this stuff makes sense, seeing it on paper is new to me. This reading tells you to look at margins, headers, lists, colors, and fonts. It reminds you to consider if some information would read more efficient in a list, graph, or table. When I read over this short section, it reminded me of Ms. B suggesting we do an infographic (I think that’s what it is called). All of these things would be very important if you were doing one of these for Project 3. After giving it more thought, I kind of regret not doing an infographic. I think this reading assignment would have helped, but I think it will still help with my blog.

SFH Layout and Pages

What I immediately noticed about these readings is that they would really be helpful for advertisements, infographics, resumes, and brochures. Luckily, the genres I chose for Project 3 are mostly already laid out and I don’t have much control over it, especially my Instagram. My blog post also has a predetermined layout, but I have options to change my text, add colors, and add specific features too. Blogs already have headings too, so it isn’t necessary for me to worry about those here either. I will definitely refer back to these when I am finalizing my blog and spending a lot of time on it. As of right now, I am focusing on getting my information out there. As I am forming my posts, I need to pay more attention to my fonts! My third genre is a collage. I don’t see how this chapter really relates to that genre because there isn’t any text that needs to be formatted, blocked, or rearranged. Overall, I think this reading would be very helpful if I would have chosen to do a brochure or advertisement like I had originally planned. Is it too late to change?

SDH Images and Photos

All of my genres incorporate pictures. My blog posts haven’t seen any pictures yet, but I plan on posting some. Every Instagram post is built around a picture. My collage is solely images. The reading states, “Photos and illustrations let you show readers – at a glance—aspects of your subject that would otherwise need lengthy description.” This is a big part of my Instagram genre. If I upload a picture of myself in a yoga position, it is so much easier to see and understand the position than trying to picture it in your head based of a text description. I am still deciding if I want to gather pictures for my collage from parenting magazines or from the internet. It will probably be from the internet since it is so easy to gather and so easy to edit to conform to the idea in my head.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

I agree that these readings had information that we having been learning all semester, but it presented in more detail. Also, i and glad that i am not the only one who thought we had to do three separate reflections on the three readings.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

11/17 Reflections

SFH Images and Photos

This article appears to have been taken out of a textbook. It tells the reader about using images, photos, and graphics in your writing. The author talks about how you can use these images or graphics to liven up your writing to making your writing seem more interesting. When you make your writing more interesting it makes more people want to read what you have written. Also, it makes them actually retain the information better than just having them read a long article. This is helpful information for Project three because this whole project is about creating something that people will actually want to read. This article gives helpful information about where to obtain these visual tools, and where to place them in your writing.

           This article talks about how to obtain the visual aids that you can use in your writing or projects to make them more appealing to the readers. You can get pictures and images off of the internet, for example by using Google, and you can apparently buy a CD that has clip art on it. However, I never knew you these CDs existed, usually I just looked up clip art on Google. But remember to give credit to the creator of the visual aid in your writing! Don’t Plagiarize!

 SFH Lay Out Pages

This article was actually very interesting to read. It talks about you should arrange your writing on a page to make to reader want to read it. The information in the article seems like common sense, yet we would never actually think about arranging the lay out of a page in this particular way on purpose (or maybe it’s just me who never think to do these things on purpose). For example, the article talks about using a poster as medium for writing. The article talks about minimalizing the information on a poster, and blocking relevant information together. For instance, even though the poster is bigger than a piece of paper, this does not mean that you can put more information than you can on a piece of paper. In fact, on a poster people tend to put less information about a subject than they would on a regular sheet of paper. People do not want to read big blocks of text on a poster, this causes them to have to look at a small area of the poster for a longer amount of time than they want to. They do not want to stand there all day trying to read the information. You need to group relevant information together and make it short and to the point. Also, blank space is not the enemy, some blank space is needed to make the poster not look cluttered and too busy.  

Analyzing Visual Rhetoric

It was nice having such a short article to read. This article was only two pages long, and it talked about all the things we have been discussing in class for past several weeks. For example, the beginning goes through how, as the writer/creator you have to keep in mind your audience when you are composing your genre. Your audience is very important when it comes to the creative aspect of the genre. You need to make the design and information of the genre appeal to the selected audience and make the purpose of the genre very clear. The organization and overall presentation of the genre need to be thought out as well. Everything that you do to create this genre should be thought out and done with the intended audience and purpose in mind. Things like the organization of the text, the font used for the words, the headings, and even the margins should be taken into consideration when creating the genre, according to the article. Statistics and graphics and images are helpful tools the author can use to make the genre more interesting to the reader. Statistics put the information into perspective, and show that the information is relevant in real life, and images and graphics uare pleasing to the eye, and make the information stand out, and make it more memorable.

Viral Marketing Reflection

Address these questions:

– What is Viral Marketing? – What does it do?

Viral Marketing refers to marketing techniques that aim to create increases in brand recognition and sales for the product being marketed. Marketing techniques include pre-existing social networking services (i.e. Instagram, Twitter, Commercials) and other technologies or interpersonal interactions (i.e. word of mouth). 

– How does it work?

The key to Viral marketing is simple: make your product memorable. If a product becomes memorable, then people will talk about it amongst their peers and the brand recognition will grow. The more memorable your product is (whether it has a funny name, catchy jingle, or how useful it is) the more people will talk about the product. For example, Old Spice is most well known for not only their product, but for their various commercials that have aired over the years featuring a robust man with a deep voice telling women how un-manly their man is.. You know the one… 

– When does it work?

It works once there is a stigma behind the product. Simply creating a funny name or catchy jingle is not enough to market your product. It works when the creativity of the company proves itself though an advertisement unlike any before it’s kind. Before the Old Spice commercials deodorant companies would simply feature their male models applying the deodorant in an empty room/ locker room/ bedroom and then have a gorgeous girl walk in and seem smitten with his deodorant choice. Old Spice changed the game and didn’t feature a woman, but rather TOLD female viewers “your man isn’t a man without Old Spice” and then featured an impossible task. 

It worked because there had never been a marketing idea like that before, it became easily recognizable and identifiable, and people were discussing it amongst their peers (building good word of mouth)

[kylecontrast-deactivated202-blog]

I like your comparison of the old Old Spice adds to the new ones.  The oxymoronical new Old Spice ads.  Also these gifs are improving my evening by quite a bit.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

I love the use of your gifs, they really help the reader understand the point. I agree with the fact that the key to viral marketing is make it memorable.

Viral Marketing

What is Viral Marketing?

Viral marketing is basically advertising in a way that appeals to a large audience. It can be spread easily, and that is the goal. For a company, this is one of the most important marketing components that need to be considered.

What does it do?

These ads have to catch the viewer’s attention and promote their product, service, or brand. These ads are put out, on the internet, social media, or wherever. Then, the goal is to have it spread so it is seen by as many people as possible.

How does it work?

Viral marketing can be spread through blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, or word of mouth, just to mention a few. If you post something on the internet, there is the possibility for it to be seen by thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or more people.

When does it work?

Viral marketing works when it appeals to the consumers’ pathos, making them mad, making them happy, making them mad, or even surprising them. Then, people will want to spread the campaign. If you think about it, when you see a funny ad, you may share it with your roommate, your sister, your boyfriend, etc. That means it was successful and will continue to spread. The video that comes to my mind is the ad for Always. They focus on girls’ self esteems, entertain the idea of the phrase “like a girl”, and it definitely appeals to my pathos, enough for me to share it on my Facebook. That is successful viral marketing.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

I agree. The main reason that this type of marketing works is because it appeals to the people’s sense of pathos.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

Viral Marketing Refelction

These websites were very useful for project three. Especially the one titled “Viral Marketing 101”. This article was very helpful because it explained how to get people’s attention, and how to get them to spread the information to make it go viral.

What is viral marketing?

Viral marketing is spreading the word by means of the internet or social media. It is product advertising, but instead of just using commercials on TV, the advertisers use social media to quickly spread the word on what they are trying to get out there. They may not be trying to sell a product, instead they are trying to spread awareness about a particular issue.

What does it do?

Viral marketing spreads information very quickly, like a “virus” or “computer virus”, the point is to spread the information very fast and wide. The people sending the info. out want the info. to be seen by as many people as possible.

How does it work?

The way the information is spread quickly is because the people on social media find the advertisement funny, sad, happy, or sometimes even controversial, just something that makes them interested enough in the advertisement that they want to share it with their friends and/or family. Then, their friends share it on their social media, and so on until so many people have seen, that “everyone” is talking about it.

When does it work?

This type of marketing works when the advertisement is interesting to the public. For example, when it is funny or controversial. It works when the topic is controversial because people love to argue about things, and issues such as those give them something to argue about.

Here’s a story... about a puppy...

Once I left for college, I was forced to leave my 9 year-old, 18 pound grumpy Yorkie, Thumper, at home with my parents. They still send pictures of him per my request (even though they are less than 2 hours away). The transition away from your family and close friends to a university where you know no one can be very lonely… It had been my lifelong dream to get a bunny (yes, I know I said this was a story about a puppy). Knowing my mother did not want me to get a bunny and would not let me keep it at home, one day I spontaneously swooped up my boyfriend, made him agree to let me keep the bunny at his house, and took him to Pet Supermarket with me… Long story short, I dropped $300 on the cutest bunny ever and kept it for 3 whole days. Why? On the way home from this expensive trip, I broke out in hives. I was allergic to the cutest bunny in the world. My dreams were crushed. No exaggeration. I still get teary-eyed talking about. However, this brings me to my current story. I went to Pet Supermarket again (my mother has learned to hate Pet Supermarket). I almost bought a cat, regardless of the fact that I am very aware of my allergies to cats. On my way home I’m losing hope. Why am I allergic to all cute animals except Thumper? Why couldn’t I get another Thumper, but in puppy form? Thats when fate jumped off my phone screen and slapped me in the face. Scrolling down Facebook I see beagle puppies for sale. So what do I do? I buy the puppy. I buy the puppy food, a food bowl, a collar, a leash, and lots of pink toys. I name the puppy Sadie. I take Sadie to her new home in Tallahassee. I play with Sadie. I fall in love with Sadie. I get my heart snatched out. Wait. What? Yes. My mother broke my heart. Let’s rewind a little. I call my mother on the way home with my puppy. She was mad, and she yelled. I could handle that. “Whatever Mom. I paid for the dog with my own money. I will keep paying for the dog. It’s my responsibility, you won’t even know I have it,” I said. It quieted down for a few hours. I played with Sadie on the green in my apartment complex. She peed in the floor, and we’d run outside. All the while, I’m smiling because I have a cute puppy that I am not allergic to! I am happy. Until my mother calls me back. “I’m coming to get the puppy.” Two hours later, she shows up at my door.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

This genre is a narrative because it is telling the reader a story. The purpose of this doc appears to be to entertain the reader with an interesting story. This genre piece uses a lot of pathos, and logos. Pathos because it is in first person point of view which helps the reader to sympathize with the author; logos because the story is told in a way that makes sense and the events of the story seem logical. The tone of this piece is suspenseful because the reader is just waiting to see what happens. The voice of the document is of someone who actually went through these events and experienced them first hand. The author uses questions and exclamations to draw the reader in. These vary the sentence structure and offer something better for the reader to read than just a lot of regular sentences. The research that appears to have been used is that of the author’s own experiences.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

Why Puppies are awesome.

Puppies are great. They are even better than dogs, some might say. They are so cute. Some people prefer cats, lizards, or other animals, but puppies are the best. Even people who prefer cats over dogs will agree that puppies (or at least pictures of puppies) are adorable. Puppies are so energetic, so they do not tire easily. This is great for little kids who have so much energy because they can play with the puppies all day long and the puppies will keep up with them. Adults love to play with dogs as well, so even adults find the puppies’ energy levels great. Older dogs do not have as much energy as younger dogs, so they cannot play as long as puppies, and sometimes the older dogs are not able to play at all. The older a dog gets the less they are able to do. This is why puppies are fantastic because they can play for longer periods of time than older dogs. Puppies are great friends to have as well. They are so cuddly. Puppies will cuddle with all day long, and they love pets and belly rubs. People who own puppies will never be bored again. They will have a friend who will love them no matter what happens, and will play with them all day. Then, when the puppy finally becomes tired, the owner will be able to cuddle with the puppy all night long. Puppies are very loyal and lovable. Most of the time, they will wait by the door or the window to watch for the owner to come home. When the owner eventually does come home, the puppy will run up to the owner very excited to finally see them again. Puppies are also stress reliever. There have been many experiments that prove that even just a few minutes of interaction with puppies can reduce stress.

BBG Chapter 9

Where was this chapter when I was working on my second, third and final drafts of projects 1 and 2? The second half should be helpful for project 3. 

The first half of this chapter was about revising our work, using what we notice ourselves and what our peers tell us all using a girls report on the first X Men Film as an example. I found this example got in the way of understanding some of what the chapter was trying to say. Anyway,  lets begin…

The first step of revising according to the book is to look over it yourself. It doesn’t say much about this, but talks about how important the authors statement it and that artists don’t create master pieces their first try, which I likes. After that you should look at peer reviews.Peer reviews are helpful when you can no longer find mistakes. It is important to seek help from peers throughout many stages of the project, from brainstorming to the final draft. It also gives you a script on how to ask for help, but peer reviews is a class assignment so this doesn’t really apply. 

The chapter then goes on to discuss changing the paper into other genres, which is what we are all doing right now. Gwen, the X Men fan, turns her project into a power point, something I wish I could do with mine but can’t since I have no one to show it to. That is all that part of the chapter is. I guess what is important to transfer over is the main idea of our original paper over.

Good luck on project three guys, I hope we all got the green light!

[brooke2135-blog]

I agree! Where was this chapter earlier in the semester!? Although, let’s be honest it was pretty straight-forward. I think you are right, the important thing is to make sure we are transferring the big idea from paper 2 into project 3.

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

I agree that we definitely should have read this earlier, but also the information about revising is what we have already been doing. We work on the paper ourselves, then have our peers revise it, let the teacher look at, and then (with Project 2) we had our peers revise it again. This is what the textbook told us to do.

Chapter 9 reflection

I am starting my reflection before I read chapter 9 to say that I am in a great mood. Now, we shall see if and how the BBG will change this.

Well this chapter did not bring me down!  Reading “Revising and Remixing Your Work” was not a pain; the information was clear and helpful, relevant to our current work, and the chapter was relatively short. Especially in the beginning, a lot of what the BBG discusses is nothing but reinforcement for me. I am very familiar with revising steps and strategies but, there is certainly nothing wrong with being reminded. In addition, there were a lot of helpful checklists to refer to and suggested revision questions that I find helpful. The section on remixing work was new to me. I have never had to take one project and transform it to satisfy a new prompt in a different genre.

I appreciate that both the revising and remixing sections are very applicable to what we are doing now. Soon we will be receiving project 2 back and some of us will be looking to revise them to boost the grade. Having some new ideas on how to tackle the revision process will be helpful. The information on remixing work into a different genre is directly related to what we are preparing to do! It is nice to have an example of how this can be done along with the checklists and suggestions.

[across2135-blog]

I agree that the information was clear and easy to understand when it comes to reinforcing what it takes to create a solid final draft through revision. The checklist will sure be helpful while working on Project 3. 

[mak15k-blog]

That’s a really good point about project 2, I almost forgot we had another opportunity to raise our grade a little!

[angrybelieverfox-blog]

The information was very understandable. I too liked the fact that the chapter was pretty short. It was only 20 pages compared to the 100 page chpaters we usually have to read.
