This week’s main objective was to understand a little more about WP2. However, this week was the first week where I was not happy with something in class and it was Uncle Zach making a prediction that could be very misleading. He claimed, “The Eagles will beat the Cowboys this Sunday”. This statement however is (1) not true (2) was a great example to use in helping us understand how many sources we need and where are sources could come from. Other then that, we worked on PB2B and in that assignment I learned just how specific these moves can be in an essay as I chose to analyze a document on Teenage Dating. A couple moves that I noted from the article were bulletin points, titles, and other moves that affected the credibility of the essay. Altogether, these moves were important in establishing a personality to the author and allowed for a more effective read by the reader.

            This last Wednesday I believed we had a very informational day in class even though we took a little break from big concepts and focused on brackets, “says”, and writing an essay. The concept I was probably most interested in was the commenting on an essay procedure, which helps “keep you sane”. I thought that would be helpful for me not only keep me sane from writing classes (jk btw) but by organizing my ideas more effectively.  It was also helpful to review words that could replace “say” as you become a more scholarly writer and also learn that Wikipedia is helpful in finding context in a subject!

            All in all, this week was a good writing week in Phelps 1525.
