Journal #10

Compositon and Rhetoric: Which individual strengths most greatly benefit one's ability to create quality compositions? Are there any qualities one MUST obtain to be successful?
English Education: Which methods of teaching influence student witing abilities the most?
Cultural Studies: Do celebrities infamous for their stupidity encourage students to be unsuccessful? Does it decrease their motivation to complete an education?
Discourse Analysis: Which method of research proves to be most successful? Which sources of research provide the most credible information?

5 Topics I Could Research:

1. Are teachers today utilizing the most effective learning techniques?
2. Does creative writing serve as a form of therapy?
3. Can drug use actually benefit creativity? (i.e: Alice in Wonderland and entertainment pieces of the sort becoming such a success)
4. Can possessing a rebellious nature be an advantage to writers? (As in thinking outside the box)
5. Which cultures provide most emphasis on the acquisition of language?

Journal #9

1. Powell is trying to determine how one's genre, academic disicpline, or ethnic background can affect their self-representation within a small school.
2. She uses the activity theory to see how competetive goals will affect a student's writing. In other words, she examines the product of certain individuals and analyzes which factors produced such an outcome.
3. It is hard to pin-point what genre a student will use, especially because most teachers will dictate whichever one they would like to see. Most students aim to please their professor so creativity is diminished.

Journal #8

1. The author's main question is whether or not something should be read with a theoretical or spontaneous outlook.
2. He utilizes quotes from musicians, their lyrics and songs, and events that support his argument.
3. The majority of people in life work hard to establish an authenticity. I know many young adults that create their own music or looks in order to stand out. Pretty much anyone that has discovered a true sense of self can claim that they have developed authenticity for themselves.

Journal #7

1. The author is trying to understand the editing process. She and 6 other writers examined their editing techniques, looking specifically at what common writers can use to improve their own revision processes.
2. First, the authors were split into 2 groups- the more experienced authors, and the least experienced. Following this analysis, the authors were split into groups based in their revision techniques. Both of these groups were analyzed to determine what was edited within each group, and how the members acted when they were surrounded by different authors. All groups were filmed, and the results were recorded on a grid.
3. It is found that professional editors will focus on reading the piece as a whole, and will make minimal changes to content of the paper. Students tend to alter stylistic devices as well as material when editing their own paper. Professionals also work more tediously than the least experienced.
