According to Norton's Field Guide to Writing,

This section is focusing mainly on Evaluations. At the end of the short sample evaluations, the book provides a reader with the way an evaluation on the specific topic would look. For example, the one on a Flat bread Company ended up looking like a "list". The list was divided into different categories that the evaluation was based on. Some of the categories were food and service. I thought that this overall evaluation was the best put together one, and caught my eye first.

There was also a film evaluation in this section. The movie under review was Harry Potter. The book simply wanted you to look for the details that the writer thought the book was missing. I thought that the writer of this review was simply just trying to give suggestions on what the movie could have done better. He/She did not give much criticism.

Overall, in my opinion I think the composer of this section put very effective evaluations in this section. All of these were different, each was based on different aspects of life. Flat bread companies to movies is a great stretch. I felt this to be very beneficial as a student.

Go Team!!

My group and I just had a group conference. Me, Angella, Amy, and Jenelle got very useful information regarding our website. We each got feedback from our instructor on how to make our section the best it can be. We are still getting along very well with each other, and I am positive it will stay that way. We are all very cooperative with each other, which makes everything so much easier with this project.
I am working on the section "facts and stats". I got all my information from one easy and convenient site. This site reallly helped me with stats about all the different aspects of self-defense. I even found information about college students and defense they can take while on campus. Which was really useful since our target audience for this project is young college women.
Other than that, everything is running smoothly and we are having a blast creating a website and learning all about self-defense!

There is no "I" in Team!

Angella, Amy, Janelle, and I are working as a group on creating a website. Our website is about Self-Defense. We each took different topics to talk about on the page. I am talking about facts and statistics. Amy is explaining the different techniques of defending your self. Jenelle is talking about the weapons of defense. Angella is explaining the tips and suggestions that she has found online about defending yourself. We are working really well together. I think our project is going to be really good.

According to Norton Field Guide to Writing, on page 454, introduces media and design. It explains the purpose of the specific advertisment, or such. I have never made any kind of website or anything for any purpose. I suppose if I was to read through this chapter then I would probably learn a few things about putting out an effective piece of media and the correct way to design it. This chapter is very effective in explaining every part required to create a meaningful presentation of some kind of media. The design is just one of the key factors that are further explained. The book also goes into detail about the spoken text behind the technological side of things.

In every story there is...

Most introductions offer a breif description of the texts content, often in the form of a thesis statement. Most essays are part of an ongoing conversation, so you might begin by outlining the positions to which your writing responds. Sometimes the best beginning is a clear thesis stating your postion. If your readers may not know as much as you do about your topic, giving them information to help them understand your positon can be important. You will always want to establish common ground with your readers. You may end by wrapping up loose ends, or you may wish to give readers something to think about. One way to to bring closure to a text is to bring up something discussed in the beginning; often the reference adds to or even changes the original meaning.
Considering a rhetorical situation you would want to make sure there is a clear purpose. Your purpose will affect the way you begin and end.
Who do you want to reach? That would apply to captivating the correct audience.
Does your genre require a certain type of beginning or ending?
What is your stance, and can your beginning and ending help you convey that stance?
Your medium may affect the way you begin and end.

A title serves various purposes naming a text and providing clues to the content. It also helps readers decide whether they want to read further so its worthe your while to come up with a title that attracts interest. A thesis statement identifies the topic of your text along with the claim you are making about it. A good thesis helps readers understand an essay. A really good thesis is specific.

How did this happen?

Have you ever heard of cause and effects? How about classifying and dividing? Maybe comparing and contrasting?.... Me neither. That is I have never about them until I got a very interesting assignment from my English class. I had to read about the difference between all these different questions.
Analyzing ihelps us think about why something happend.. the cause is the motive of the action and the effect is the consequence. You can always find a cause and an effect in a regular sentence structure.
Classification and division aer ways of organizing information. When you classify something, you group it with similar things.
Comparing things looks at their similarities; contrasting them focuses on their differences. This is one of the easiest things to remember. They are opposites.
