One thing I found interesting in the process of making this paper, was how easy it was to use Google Sites. I found it easier to use than Wix and WordPress because I was specifically looking at the icons for this paper, and I realized that everything is clearly laid out cleanly in both image…

Project 4 Process
I have started with the process of developing this paper. So far I have been looking back over the course readings and attempting to find some references for my piece and figuring out how I can include them in my analysis. I also took screenshots so that I could start figuring out what I planned…
Reflection 4/16/2020
This week in the reading, we discussed how everything is ultimately an argument, even the design elements of a piece. And that by not choosing the design elements and instead choosing a template, we lose the opportunity to make the rhetorical craft decisions that will best help our message. Things like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and…
Reflection 4/2
This week in the reading, I enjoyed how you talked about the intersection of ecofeminism and digital literacy.

Reflections 2/13
Today in class we talked about genre. With the chart, we compared three examples of the same genre from the same discourse community. I found this particularly interesting because I was analyzing my own work. I noticed that even though I am writing within the same genre, my purpose, audience, and format shifts depending on…
