Reflection on Project 1 Draft

In this post I will be discussing the peer review I did on Chelsea's and Hallye's QRGs. I will also be answering several questions from Student's Guide to First Year Writing.

I reviewed both Chelsea's and Hallye's QRGs. They both wrote extremely well and had wonderful QRGs.

Audience

• Who specifically is going to be reading this essay?
• After reading the two QRGs I determined the people who are going to be reading the QRG are generally educated, knowledgeable teachers and students who are interested in the topic.

• What are their values and expectations?
• The people who are going to be reading these QRGs expect information about the controversy that is easy to find, accurate and touches on the central issues of the controversy.

• How much information do I need to give?
• This question will vary depending on the topic you are discussing. For the people's whos QRGs I revised I noticed that it tended to be an introduction to how the controversy started and then a brief history of the controversial topic.

• What kind of language is suitable for this audience?
• For this audience the language seemed to be fairly average almost like someone was talking in a normal conversation. This tended to err on the side of knowledgeable but not at the level of expertise.

• What tone should I use with my audience?
• The tone that I noticed in the QRGs I read seemed to be a sort of friendly and informative tone. It also tended to be informal talking to the audience like he or she was a close friend and knowledgeable in the subject field.

Context

• What are the formatting requirements for this assignment?
• The formatting requirements seemed to be lots of white space accompanied with multiple images. There was also several sections that were easily navigable and centered around questions that one may have about the controversy.

• What are the content requirements?
• The content requirements for the QRG is a general overview of the controversy along with some form of analysis that touches on the key points in the controversy.

• Does my draft reflect knowledge and skills gained in class in addition to my own ideas and voice?
• Yes. My draft pulls from the format of the QRG that was discussed in class and the rest of it is my own explanation and evaluation of the controversy.

• Have I addressed any grammatical issues that my teacher highlighted in class or in my previously graded assignments?
• Kind of. I am still in the middle of looking over my draft for the 4 clarity problems that I tend to face when writing. Other than that the general grammatical errors are being corrected accordingly.
