Part 1: Letter to the Editor
Since I was not in class on Monday I haven't picked a topic for my letter to the editor but my thoughts are replying to the woman who wrote about registering kitchen knives. I was thinking of portraying a sense that I don't agree with her, I know she was being satyrical but I am going to take as being serious and reply to it as that. I am going to write it and post it in the comments this weekend!
Part 2: Chapter 5
This chapter was interesting to me because in the part called Throat Clearing they were talking about how we always state our opinion or thoughts and the way we convey it. I am so used to using "I believe" or " I think" and those shouldn't be used or are proper. These statements are hard to find and fix because we are so used to using them that it seems normal to us. Also informal to formal useage was interesting because most people use "sorta" or "really". I use "really" all the time and I have found that in my papers I am constantly using it.
Part 3: Revision
What I noticed about the multilingual writers was that they really want their peer
tutor to focus on their grammar and make sure it is correct.

I looked up letter to the editor letters online and found an article that I wanted to follow up on instead of what I wanted to do above I changed my letter replying to an eighth grade girl who started a cause to ban photo shop in Seventeen Magazine, and in my letter I am applauding her and complimenting her. Here is my draft.
ReplyDeleteLetter to the Editor
I want to applaud Julia B. for starting the cause of banning photo shop in Seventeen magazines. The fact that she is in eighth grade and standing up for something so many women should be fighting for is amazing. Fashion plays a huge role in our society today especially to women and I am a huge believer of women showing off their curves and body shapes. Girls look up to models. Girls look up to them in the way that that is who they want to be when they grow up. They want to look like them, and live their life like theirs. Seventeen Magazine is showing the world that the fashion industry is changing for the better, to better society and show the world that not all beautiful people are a size 0.
Very interesting blog, I liked your revision on Part 3. I also use I believe or I think, but I mainly use I feel, I need to change that up.
ReplyDeletechapter five was good in that it showed how we all use everyday language in our writting, which we should not do with regrds to . and if we are aware of those issues we can find them more redily when revising a paper.
