By completing the image analysis essay, I was able to meet the outcome about using outside materials in your own writing. Two more ways I was able to develop my critical thinking, reading, and information literacy skills was by using outside materials in their own writing through techniques such as interpretation, synthesis, response, critique, and design/redesign, and incorporating outside materials through quotations, paraphrase, and summary. This style of writing is helpful because of its creative nature, and allows myself to become better as a writer. By completing these journals, I was able to look back on certain assignments, and learn how I was able to accomplish what I did. Every so often we had to write a journal about our thoughts about either our writing skills, how we defined different terms, and our reflections on our assignments. One such way I have met this outcome is by writing journals almost every class about different things. I display that I have met this outcome by understanding how to write in those genres and how to keep it appropriate.Īnother outcome this class has helped me meet is developing critical thinking, reading, and information literacy by composing and reading for inquiry, learning, critical thinking, and communicating. In this case, elements such as facts, context, and comparison are common, and story like elements would not be appropriate here. This style of writing is different from an image analysis essay, where the purpose is mostly informative rather than anecdotal. This means using traditional elements of a story, such as a beginning, middle, climax, and resolution, along with elements such as foreshadowing. For example, in the literacy narrative, I had to write to convey a story. From storytelling and analyzation, to infographics and research assignments, I have been able to change how I write in order to meet the requirements. During the course we were asked to write different essays that reflected different styles of writing. This was not the result of one assignment, but many. Rhetoric knowledge was also developed by practicing purposeful shifts in structure, content, diction, tone, formality, design, and/or medium in accordance with the rhetorical situation, which means to be able to change your writing to reflect the rhetorical situation at hand. This assignment helps develop rhetoric as it allowed me to understand how the category of advertisement writing can differ from not only other genres, but other ads as well. We all had to bring an advertisement to class, and analyze it ourselves, pointing out what techniques the ads were using, if they were effective or not, and who were they targeting. In class, we spent time looking at different advertisements, and how they appealed to certain audiences. One assignment that comes to mind that helped me achieve this outcome was our advertisement analysis assignments. This means that I have been able to analyze different types of writing in order to understand how a genre affects how an author writes, and how the reader reads. This class has helped me develop rhetorical knowledge by analyzing and composing multiple forms of writing to understand how genre conventions shape readers’ and writers’ practices and purposes. By taking this class, I have been able to develop rhetorical knowledge, develop critical thinking, reading, and information literacy, develop effective strategies for drafting texts, and develop knowledge of conventions. Throughout the semester, I have completed assignments that have increased my skills, and broadened my sense as a writer in different areas. This class has helped me fix that issue a bit, while also strengthening my proficiency in other areas. Sometimes it is hard for me to understand why some writing needs more detail but others do not. It needed improving, but it was not a hard fix. However, once I arrived in college it was apparent to myself that I needed more detail, and that it was something I lacked. Alongside that, I’ve always found writing easy once I have that base. I was always good at getting information and laying down a foundation. A lot of the skills I have translated over easily from high school, but some did not. My writing skills were not bad, but they needed some fine tuning. At the beginning of the course, I was new to college writing.
