Coming into writing my WP1, I was clueless and was overthinking everything. I believed it was going to be a challenge to write this but when I started everything seemed to easily fall into its place. Throughout high school, I was taught to use a 5 paragraph structure in almost every paper. Though I knew I can include more than 5 total paragraphs, that idea skipped my head and I stuck with the structure I used the most. I realized I can expand my writing and my thoughts and to space out my paragraphs so one of them won’t take up an entire page. After getting feedback from Zack, it made me realize that I could have spread out my paragraphs to make the paper look not as crammed. Going forward, I can change two things about my writing style. I can space out my ideas which I would think should be an entire paragraph and I can use a wider variety of vocabulary. I noticed I used the same couple terms like ‘constraints’ and ‘audiences’ a large amount of times and should focus more on other conventions such as tone, logos, pathos, and ethos. By spacing out my paragraphs, it will conclude one idea about a certain topic and I can continue my thoughts about the same topic in my next paragraph. I believe that WP1 helped me dig deep into small details and learn how to fully analyze a genre.

PB1A Sale Signs

When thinking of what a genre is, it is a lot more than just a peculiar movie type—such as comedy and drama. Genres can be anything that is textually seen. Though there are varieties of genres, one genre that I am familiar with are ‘Sale Signs and Advertisements’. My familiarity with them comes from my job experience at GNC. I work there as a sales associate and we often have weekend sales consisting of BOGO50, BOGO80, and even sometimes BOGOFREE deals. But, what makes an advertisement and a sale sign, an advertisement and a sale sign? An advertisement or a sale sign is a genre because of its features and conventions. When you look at a GNC sale sign, you’ll notice that that there are some with just “SUPER SALE” written and then there are specific signs that would say “BUY 1 AT REGULAR PRICE GET 1 50% OFF or BUY 1 AT REGULAR PRICE GET 1 UP TO 80% OFF”. These signs are identical but have totally different meanings and what they could bring to the table. When looking at th...

Annotation Strategies

8/23 When I am annotating, I am taking in the information that’s being written and try to relate to it to the best of my ability. In many of my annotations, you would notice how I tend to write “relatable” or even answer the question or statement that’s written. There are different ways to annotate, some are by agreeing or disagreeing with the statements or even questioning what’s written. I also tend to highlight and underline certain lines and phrases that stick out to me. Highlighting and underlining questions and phrases I’m not fully aware of helps understand and put the writing piece together. Annotations definitely help reading any piece much easier. How do other people annotate? Mostly everyone will highlight things that they don’t know. Car for example highlights questions and statements that he isn’t aware of and then comes back to them to answer or answers immediately. By highlighting those sentences that don’t fully make sense at first, Car can und...
