Blog 7 Feb. 10

After review my memo and map I decided to re-read the assignment sheet. The assignment sheet came off as very vague which I like. This allowed me to express my creativity through the memo and map. My first draft was very rough. I spent a long time reviewing it. My first draft was more a combination of ideas and less a final piece. After reviewing I was able to take those ideas and put them together. For most of my pieces, my first draft often looks like this. I reviewed my first project in the same environment that I started the project in. The familiar surrounds allowed me to better focus on the task at hand. The review process was also very different than my first draft. With the revision I had to much more careful with things like spelling that I didn’t care about in my first draft. This took a long time to go through because I wanted to make sure everything was spelt right and cohesive. During homework I usually do not stress because I always like to start assignments earlier rather than later. I do this because if I start something early I have the ability come back to the work another day. I fell like this strategy of homework really helps me succeed in school. I am very interested for class on Monday. I can’t wait to see how my classmates interpreted the project. Also I really enjoy peer review workshops because it give me the ability to help others and get feedback on my work. Everyone thinks differently and maybe I will tweak my project a little after receiving feedback. In conclusion this project really helped me reflect on my social life as a whole. By discovering all the different rhetorical ecologies I am apart of I realized how diverse my life is.

  1. I like how you view the vaguness of the prompt as a good thing because it allows you to be creative, I wish I initially saw it as a positive rather than something to stress over. I enjoyed the revision process in class because it also helped me get different and helpful perspectives on my first draft.

  2. I also had a very rough first draft. I didn’t care if my sentences flowed or if they were grammatically correct. I just wanted to get words down on paper so that I would have something for the in-class workshop.
