VII. Thlog

Some of my friends in other writing 2 sections have been SUPER busy and swamped recently with their WP2s; having to turn in their final drafts only 2 days after having their rough drafts peer revised, so i've bee extremely grateful for the changes that were made to our class syllabus that have given us more time to really work on our assignments to the best of our abilities.
With that said, this past week was a pretty short one, but it was really helpful; especially the peer revising. It was nice being able to have other peers read and revise my paper and to be able to share ideas amongst one another. I noticed through peer review that a lot of us had different ideas and different approaches to this paper. Also, after having my paper peer revised, I was almost able to see my paper in a different light and realized that I have provided a lot more information on the topic that I had chosen than was necessary, and that I needed to add more information on the different genres and their rhetorical features. In our groups, we were also able to exchange ideas on how to incorporate quotes from the class readings, which was something that I was really struggling with while I was writing my rough draft.
On Wednesday, I also found the socrates activity really helpful as we were able to look and and dissect the beginning of the chosen introduction and we could see what moves each of the authors made and were able to discuss why those introduction sentences were chosen as class favorites.
