  • BLOG POST 9: Definition of Genre

    December 1, 2019 by

    Before in the first few weeks of english composition 1001 I’d define genre as a “type”. I still think that’s a pretty good way to define genre, but now that I’ve written and composed in so many different contexts, I’ve realized that genre is more complicated than just a “type”. Genres are different ways of… Read more

  • BLOG POST 8: Purpose and Primary Research

    December 1, 2019 by

    Every piece of writing must have a reason for being written. Context without purpose has no relevance and no true meaning. Purpose is why the discourse is created. With the purpose there is usually some goal that is required to be achieved. For an article in the newspaper reviewing a restaurant, the purpose of the… Read more

  • BLOG POST 5: Reflection

    December 1, 2019 by

    Reflection is important, it’s the only way to determine whether anything has actually been understood from what has been read. Reflection plays a critical role in the process of learning. It lets us learn more about the way we learn by taking off time to look back and review the way we understood and how… Read more

    STEP 1: FAMILIARIZE In terms of Context, by making the material given more familiar or similar to what is known to you, the process of learning becomes more personal and is easier to understand.

  • My Key Word(In Class Reflection)

    November 25, 2019 by

    Purpose is the word I’ve chosen as my “key word”. Purpose is the reason that any piece of writing is composed. No context or written work is ever composed aimlessly or for no reason at all. Every single discourse has a purpose, either to educate, argue or achieve. The goal of any discourse could be… Read more

  • Pre discussion work

    Bazzermans text was rather complex and for a simpleton like me it took quite some time to understand the pretty straightforward meanings he tried to convey.

  • BLOG POST 1: What is writing

    November 18, 2019 by

    What is writing? To me writing could be for two reasons, out of compulsion or for leisure. Usually when we’re forced or required to write there’s a lot more thought and deep digging that goes into it. writing for leisure or out of ones own interest is more pressurizing because jotting down what you want… Read more

    According to the article being a novice is not a bad thing, in other words it’s just a lack of exposure to situations.

    September 28, 2019 by

    What does “knowledge” mean to me? Knowledge is what is known to us. You need not be an expert or have a degree to be equipped with the knowledge for all topics. But for certain areas of understanding, a particular level of expertise or proof of that understanding is required, like a PhD for astrophysicists… Read more

  • BLOG POST 4: Audience

    September 13, 2019 by

    When I think of an audience the first thing that comes to mind is a gathering of people.

  • BLOG POST 3: Rhetorical Situation

    September 12, 2019 by

    Bitzer says that a situation is defined by its characteristics.
