Memo for Essay 2

As far as my essay goes dear readers my main point was to utilize West's research methods into the author of the blog I was looking at. So the main parts I would like you to focus on are the analysis of the four-step process used in West's article. Other than that, just small typos or grammar issues, and places where the writing doesn't really make sense because my writing is full of them.
Thanks for reading for me!

Choices, Choices.....

Well in this post we are supposed to figure out which ofthe three options we want to use for our second essay. I truthfully have no idea which one to pick. So I decided to work my way thru both the ideas i like best.

My first choice would be the second option which is applying West's article to a blog of our choice. This one entices me because I find it easier to talk about others more than myself. Second, because I would choose the same travel blog I did for the first essay, which would make me much more acustomed to it.

My second choice is the third option, which involves the sythesis option. Personally, I enjoy using sythesis considering I also used it in the first essay as well. But the problem is I haven't bothered to start researching outside sourceswhich could take some time even considering the time increase because of the new option choices.

So as far as my choice I am leaning towards option two but you never know it may turn out option three will work out better. So thus my title. But to start the brainstorming prcess at least I decide choice two. So now to refresh my memory on Chris Adams, peace....

Blog Article Response

I found West's article to be a bit dry but, intersting at the same time. I liked how she introduced blogging to her students and had them respond to the novels they were reading. I can see how she learned alot about her students in the process as well. One can see how observing her students writing can tell them alot aobut the student. For example, how she talked about Evan's post, how he said he "felt kinda sick" and "didn't feel like writing". This shows his reluctance to do the assignment but he continues to do so anyways.

Reflection on Presentation

Sorry this is late, work has been killing me.

My presentation seemed to go really well from the feed back that Professor Thompson gave me. I was really nervous to present in front of everyone because I sorta have a bit of stage fright. But the presentation seemed to go well, especially because I presented on a draft that I hadn't written yet based on feedback from writing conferences. But it all turned out well, in retrospect though I could have involved the audience more and included some more eye catching visual aids

Reflection on Essay One

As far as essay one, I had to change up my writing process a little bit. I'm used to just writing a rough draft and then revising for a final draft then presenting it to the class. But, with this essay i had to write out a proposal, something I am not used to. Also i had to make constant drafts instead of one, i ended up making a total of four rought drafts; and the presentation in the middle of the draft process really threw me off because I had to present on a draft I had not written yet. So then I had to later change my essay to fit the presentation but, I did change one of my definitions. So as far as essay one I definately had to change it up quite a bit from my high school writing style.
Even the essay was different as far as the subject and how I decided to write it. I had to tye in something I was intersted in so I could do a good job writing it. So I had to make a strech for the topic to apply to the blog, because blogging really isn't all that interesting to me personally. So I am glad I was able to find a topic I could tye in to interest me.
