Learning and composition

Personal Goal: Understand how to use fillers correctly

Hearing feedback from someone else allowed me to know when I did not need certain information

The peer reviews helped with this beyond belief because they were able to tell when I was using information to make the word count

Conventions

The structure of the paper is broken down into 3 claims and their reasoning

The structure of a paper is explained and given how to go about them

This journal includes analyzing genres and conventions of academic writing including language, word choice, structure and reference

Project 3 reflection

Every aspect of the project 3 was broken down into this reflection and allowed us to realize what exactly conventions are and how they were used

This reflection allowed me to realize the conventions that were used within this project

Project 3: multi-medial presentation

This presentation consisted of a one page poster that allowed us to breakdown our entire project 3 in a short amount of time

Project 2: multi-medial presentation

This presentation was also timed, so we had to fit everything from this project within the time limit

Project 1: multi-medial presentation

This presentation was timed so we had to use conventions to make the presentation fit within the time limit

Critical Thinking and Composing

SLO activity

While putting the SLO's in our own words, we were able to reflect on them as we broke them down

We had to break down all of our student learning objectives and put them into our own words

Project 3

We had to find ways to have the audience connect to the issue

Placing all of the information together and flowing seamlessly included critical thinking

We had to compose project 3 from our sources in project 2

I had to find supporting reasonings within my own mind

I had to critically think as to why this issue is a big deal to me

This was a journal about my personal connection to climate change

Interview Report

Putting together the interview report into a document had to be set up a certain way that made me think about the reasoning of the entire process

We had to create questions that we think would benefit our learning

Credible resources had to be found to support the given claims

Counterarguments are included within this reading and journal where it is explained how to handle them

Using a thesis statement effectively is mentioned

Project 2: annotated bibliography

We had to find sources that were credible and fit the professors requirements

Critical thinking was used by understanding the main ideas of the texts to see if they were fit to support our claims

We had to make sure the sources connected enough with our topics

Project 1: rhetorical analysis

We had to critical think about how we feel about our topic and what it means to us

We had to support our topic by gathering information from other sources and composing information from that

Draft of Project 1

Analyze content/response journals and how they contribute to the writing process

Understand the missing pieces and how to make the flow within

Understand how to rhetorically analyze a paper

We had to breakdown an controversial image which took a lot of thinking and deep thinking of what is being targeted

Journal 1: Visualize the Rhetorical Situation

Visualizing the rhetorical situation takes a lot of thinking and composing both inside your mind and on paper

Chapter 8 reading: Reading and Writing in the Natural Resources

Scientific method into the scientific writing process

Scientific writing process

Scientific method

Personal Goal: Identify the genre and how it affects other aspects of the text

Our class had assigned readings that had to deal with genres and how the differ from one another

We had numerous class discussions on genre and what the differences mean

Personal Goal: Understand how to cite MLA properly

We had to learn how to cite the proper format within our essays

We had numerous discussions in class about the differences in the work cited page

For project 3 we had to convert our APA citations from project to MLA

Reflection and Revision

Project 3: multimedial presentation

I was able to reflect and share my findings with the rest of the class

This one page poster made me reflect on what the important aspects of my learning were

Journal 7

This journal is a reflection on why climate change is an important issue to me

Project 2: Multimedial Powerpoint Presentation

I was able to reflect on the sources they used and why I chose to use these specific sources

Project 3: Personal Narrative

This narrative was a place for me to explain why and how climate change has changed my view on the world and activities going on in it

Exit journals

Reflecting on why our daily objectives were important made us think as to why went over those objectives

Chapter 4 reading: Academic Research

Revisions depending on what genre is being written; what can and cannot be included

This reading assured me that academic writing is never fully complete - it can always be improved some more

Reflecting on research is important because the author should have a personal connection to make the piece feel more credible

There will always be revisions to be made when publishing academically

Scholar Interview

Interview a scholar that has published before; understand the process

Understanding what publishing within our major/field is like

Rhetorical Awareness

Journal 6

Claims and counterclaims are given and broken down into supporting bullet points

Journal 5

Explains the three rhetorical appeals: pathos, logos, and ethos

Reading and response on how to persuade an audience on a topic

Journal 3

This journal includes how to understand the discipline of researching and the writing that comes along with it that includes rhetorical writing

Group narrative

The group had to support what we found the four elements to be

We worked together to be assured that the four elements we found were accurate

We worked in groups to breakdown the four elements of rhetorical analysis

Journal 1: Visualize the rhetorical situation

The reasoning as to why the audience is the audience and how the topic is being tackled are explained as well

This reading and journal are composed of how to breakdown the given rhetorical situation into the components of rhetorical writing

Project 2: Annotated Bibliography

Each source had to fit the requirements for rhetorical awareness

For this project we had to breakdown every source by the four elements of rhetorical analysis

Project 1: Rhetorical analysis

SLC & DOCS were used multiple times throughout the project

Understand the appeals: logos, pathos, ethos

Chapter 5 reading: Reading and Writing in Academic Disciplines

Understanding the differences between different types of genres and how they are tackled are key

It is important to identify the reasonings behind reading and writing academically

Chapter 2 reading: Reading and Writing Rhetorically

Learned that it is extremely important to be able to identify the four aspects of rhetorical writing and how they are accomplished

Understanding genres

Understanding rhetorical context

Controversial Picture and Topic

The image visualized rhetorical writing

We saw how other others were writing about the topic and how they used rhetorical writing to their advantage

We had to write a paragraph using the rhetorical writing process

Reading: Scientific Writing in the Natural Sciences

Being able to easily identify the four aspects of rhetorical analysis is key when writing research papers

The four parts of rhetorical analysis are broken down and how they are tackled
