Week 9 Overview

During this last week of April we finalized our two pieces of rhetoric and started planning out our persuasive papers. I was absent Wednesday because I wasn't feeling well but I was able to put some finishing touches on my video and bumper sticker. I have gotten a little behind on my paper because I had  a lot of tests last week and didn't have much time for research but I have been able to plan more now for my paper and my planning is all starting to come together. I just need to find a couple more sources and figure out what my main points of my argument are going to be. Overall this week was a very hectic week for me but I was very happy with my final two pieces of rhetoric as well as my reflection paper that was due friday. Now i just need to start focusing more on my persuasive paper and starting bringing together my ideas to form my argument.

Week 8 Overview

The week of the 18th-24th,
During this week we worked on our NPO projects a lot and got them ready for our first rough draft that was due that friday. We also had a quiz on many of the different slides and class notes we had taken since the beginning of the year. For most of our NPO planning we were with our project groups and were aloud to give each other advice and help everyone out on there two different proposals.
For my two pieces of rhetoric I did a video and a bumper sticker. Most of my time was spent this week on my video because It took a lot of work. Recording a adventurous puppy is not the easiest thing to do and then on top of that the actual process of putting the different clips together was quite a challenge. But during this week I got it all done and was very happy with the overall outcome of the video. My bumper sticker didn't take as much work but it was something that I needed to appeal emotionally to people to make them think about the way they treat their pets and I was also very happy with it.
