My Writing Strengths

In my writing process, I am most proud of my outlining skills. I like laying out everything I plan on doing in my essay, especially highlighting the different points I want to make. This helps me write more from my perspective. If I know what to write about and discuss, then I can go on a deep dive into every little piece and expand on the topics greatly. Laying out my papers with questions I want to/should answer is a great way for me to focus on what I am creating.

What do you like most about your learning?

Throughout my learning, I have liked how much freedom we have with choosing what we wanted to focus on or research. For a majority of the projects we have completed, we were able to have the freedom to decide what we wanted to do out projects on with the only restrictions being what the topic of the project was. This lead to more individualistic and unique projects between the class.

what questions about writing skill development do you have?

A question I have about writing skill development is how do you grow after being in education? After I'm done with school how do I continue to challenge and practice my skills outside of the classroom?

Where will you adjust your essay to strengthen your point?

I was a little confused at the assignment details at first, but the weekly overview video helped clarify significantly what examples we’re supposed to use to validate our answers. To adjust my essay further, I will focus on the context provided of this being an interview-like situation. I will write professionally and concisely, but I will also experiment with a conversational style to match the provided context.

Peer Review Request #2

I was wondering how you guys are laying out your document. Are you using bullet points to list key points? How are you showing examples for the questions? images, text, etc?

Learning

I am proud of how my learning has grown in adapting to a new writing space. I am proud of being able to look at a space and better analyze how to write in it based on who the audience is and how they interact with the space as well as the overall experience and expectations of the space.

What I Liked Most About My Learning

What I liked most about my learning through this course is that I expanded my knowledge of different social media platforms and how their community interacts with each other. Before this course, I never had an account on tumblr, so posting on this site was very new for me! However, I really like how tumblr is set up and all the customization options available. I had no idea how creative tumblr could be and how there are so many different ways and formats to stylize your post.

How I Adjusted My Reflection Essay

As I followed the instructions for the Content Reflection Essay, I had to constantly re-check the objectives as well as look at the textbook to correctly define certain aspects of the rhetorical situation. By incorporating both direct and working definitions of some of our textbook terms, I was able to clarify what exactly I was synthesizing. Remembering that the essay was structured like a conversation helped me to order my paragraphs in a logical way as well as properly explain all of my references to Writing 318 classwork.

Continuing Skills

How would you recommend developing skills once we are out of the academic environment? I am going to be graduating in the Fall and really want to keep up on my skills I have developed throughout my years of education. Is there a certain activity or site you would recommend to maintain and grow my writing skills? I have tried journaling in the past and it is not my favorite thing, but is it a good way to continue to grow in the writing sphere? I really want to make sure that I have a decent grasp on writing that continues long into my future career. @npfannen

Thursday Check-in

like our other assignments you wanted some design component added to it. For the “essay” is it okay to lay out in word or did you want a more designed layout like you can get in canva? @npfannen

[mstrickler03]

My question for the Thursday Check-In post is centered around writing skill development. How do writers pursue more learning in the content creation world? Do they go to conferences, take courses outside of college, do peer review projects of some sort? What are ways to pursue web writing skills after college?

Strengthening my Essay

To strengthen my points in my essay, I will be sure to include the key concepts from this course when answering the questions. Showing how I used key concepts when web writing will show my audience of future employers that I properly understand the complexities of web writing, and that I am able to effectively communicate with various audiences by implementing these concepts.

Improving My Essay

When I mention key concepts, I will give plenty of context clues for what they mean. Information architecture or discourse community might not be the terms used by the future employer for those concepts. Showing that I understand the key concepts this way will also show that I'm not just using them as buzz words to act like I know what I'm talking about.

Peer Review Request #1

For our final assignment do you think it would be beneficial to include an introduction and then go into the interview questions? I know it is not stated that we need one but I was thinking it could help flow into the questions and explain the background of how the semester went. It is just a thought, let me know what you guys think.

"What do you like most about your essay?"

I like my ability to combine a professional language style (essay-like) with a more conversation-like style (such as during an interview) for the answers to the 5 questions. I'm not sure how it turned out or how it sounds from someone else's perspective, because so much time has already passed since the original time for writing this final essay that I spared no time for asking for peer reviews from friends/family before I submitted it. If anything, the amount of time it's taken for me to complete this work is something that I am least proud of regarding this final essay. Despite this, I think that I did well in conveying the way I talk in real-life situations in this essay because I tried my best to sound natural and professional simultaneously.

What do you like most about your essay

With this essay I really enjoyed the imagination of being in a future workplace and being interviewed for a posistion in the field I want to work in , even though I don’t want to work in webwriting or the English department I felt this gave me a great amount of experience of what questions someone might ask during an interview for a office posistion . Yes the questions might be very different for someone pursuing graphic design but I think the experience is very useful
