Again, I didn't find everything but here is what I got:
I. Applying Knowledge of Rhetorical Contexts
A. Circumstance
I learned that it is important to narrow the research topic that I chose, to look for karios (by the way that was also a new word I learned), and to figure out the purpose and audience for my research papers
B. Purpose
I think the reading helped me the most with creating my conclusion paragraph of my essay.
C. Topic
D. Audience
These things are important so as to not bore the reader and to make my paper interesting enough that I will want to write it
E. Writer
Writing the essay was a course goal so i guess it helped with that aspect of it. It helped me better understand how to conclude a paper, which is part of the writing process.
II. Refining Effective Processes
A. Invention
B. Drafting
Well this week we had to write up a draft so we are most of the way toward that goal. I learn by doing so as i was writing the proposal i learned how to write one.
C. Feedback
learned how to peer edit, something I haven't really done much before. I also got peer edited which will help me make my paper better to :)
D. Revision
E. Presentation
this weeks work helped me achieve my goal of turning a good research proposal. Since I have never written one before it really helped me learn how to wright one.
III. Researching Critically
A. Primary and secondary sources
I also think the part about identifying the type of research to be done will help my papers in the future.
B. Note taking
This weeks topic, conducting research, has really helped prepare me for my paper
C. Summary and paraphrase
It helped me to assess weather my resources were credible or not. This information is always important to know when writing a paper. If your resource isn't credible then is your paper? I would think not. I will use this is future papers to make sure my resources are crediable so my paper is through and crediable.D. Documentation of sources
We had to do some research, site our sources, read about MLA (can I say boring? ;) ) a
E. Information literacy
IV. Writing Persuasively
A. Logical appeals
B. Ethical appeals
C. Emotional appeals
D. Authority
E. Evidence
V. Applying Conventions
A. Citation style
B. Format
In addition, the grammar assignment helped me to focus on the flow of my sentences so that my paper will be better in the end.
D. Structure
My course competency this week was to figure out the organization of my paper. The web we did really help organize my thoughts. The reading also helped as it showed me where I needed to do a little more research.
E. Mechanics
