WP3 Prep

1. Going into my presentation, i felt prepared but really nervous for some odd reason. I was not able to speak my mind clearly and kept stuttering and quickly talking through my presentation. I was sure i knew what I wanted to say but in my head it was not perfect. I think that if I was to have a stop watch near me to know what pace I was presenting at, that would have helped. I feel like also for the future I should not let my nerves get to me and just to pretend like I am the only one speaking in the room. Wanting to do well on this assignment, my nerves got the best of me and I somewhat felt like I mumbled on. Going forward, I think that I can just calm down and know that this presentation is behind me and will do better in the future. I forgot to mention the research I had done on Huddart in my speech and that is something that is definitely going to be needed once I prepare my Acura project proposal email.

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.

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...
