From our first impressions of a text to the final draft, writing is a series of choices. For this blog, write a paragraph in which you explain the series of choices that led you to produce your essay. What did you choose to focus on in your reading and why? What were the choices you made in your notes that helped you (or perhaps did not help you) to produce your essay? How did you choose to construct your essay and why did you construct it as you did? What were some of the choices you wished you had made earlier in terms of writing this essay?
Also, take some time to describe your experiences with peer-editing online. How did this experience differ from other peer-editing exercises you've done in the past? How do you think the online format changed your reading practices? What was it like moving from the less formal creative space of the blog to the demands of an academic essay? What sorts of choices did you have to make in order to take the leap?
This blog is due at 9:00 on Tuesday February 17th.

The focus on the essay to me was to introduce technology in a good way and the negative way. I choose to construct my essay in the way that i give a fair response in a good way and the bad way about technology. I didnt take my time when i wrote the essay. I do like the ideas where i am going with it but i do have to expand it and by expanding it i am getting more ideas about the same things but in a more depth way.
ReplyDeleteI didnt do the peer editing online but i like the face to face editing where i can see the person if they really want to help me or are they just writing on my blog because they have too.
