So on Monday we handed in our WP2's! What a flippin’ relief. It was super time-consuming and difficult to write — I was definitely out of my comfort zone for that one. On Monday I was sick as a dog, so missed the entertaining videos everyone keeps on talking about.
I’m a big fan of Losh and Alexander’s comic. I think it’s really impressive that they created an entertaining and intriguing comic, and be able to relate it to academic writing so convincingly. I much prefer reading comics than boring paragraphs of writing, so I found this was a great way to mix up the class reading. Losh and Alexander focus on writers adapting to audience’s, and changing identities accordingly. They compared this idea to choosing particular clothes for particular occasions, so changing rhetorics can be a great thing. Anyway, it was a super cool reading for this week.
So WP3 is slowly approaching, and I’m a lot more excited about it than I have been about the previous writing projects. As we looked over previous WP3’s ideas, I’m pretty bummed we weren’t able to select our own topic. I feel like I would have been a lot more motivated to do it, but I understand this is a writing class and it’s important to learn about writing in the process. I’m in Hawaii for the rest of the week, so I’m going to try to attempt PB3A soon so that I don’t end up completing it at the last minute. I’m still a little confused about the tone of this proposal. Is it supposed to be conversational? Also, in the WP3, is there a specific format to follow? Or am I just writing about what I’ve done in an orderly fashion? Hopefully I find my selected article interesting enough to challenge my creativity and think outside the box.
