Blog Week 13: Peers; Strengths & Weaknesses

Throughout this fall semester 2012, the knowledge that has been provided to us as a class has been resourceful by explaining the process of writing and not the "why?" or the "how come?"  Every single blog we have written has explained just that, the writing process.  Now we are asked to peer edit our peers their strengths and weakness.  We all know of course to take this as positive criticism, because it only allows us to be better writers.  Here are a couple of my peers in their strengths and weakness. 

Hello Kaid, in blog week 10A: http://kmprovence.blogspot.com/2012/10/blog-week-10a.html, your first statement, "The importance of an introduction to any essay can't be overstated."  Terrific point!  You are exactly, right!  The object is to draw your audience in and not mislead them by turning them off from your essay.  Another point you mentioned, "If you want to persuade them into something, you should glorify it in every possible way, while still being able to support your claims," is a effective and strong word in explaining to your audience and getting across the importance of an introduction.  Job well done Kaid, you executed this blog entry!
Kaid, in blog week 12A:http://kmprovence.blogspot.com/2012/11/blog-week-12a.html, the first point mentioned stands valid and right on point.  Researching the subject is critical.  Next, you may want to suggest who the target audience will be.  This action will help you in selecting the correct comprehending strategies with your lingo, the process, and the depth of the article in order to have your audience follow along.  Another helpful hint, do not forget the purpose of the rhetorical tools we have learned during the semester.  Using a couple can help the reader understand the comprehension of your essay.  There is always room for improvement!  

Very well implemented Ky,
Hello again Ky, in blog week 12A: http://kyybyrd.blogspot.com/, after piecing it all together you should suggest to target a specific audience that way you can utilize certain verbage in order for your audience with the process and the depth of the essay.  This will guide your audience throughout the article without them wandering off from the original subject.  Afterwards, suggest the dumping of the body onto paper as the meat of the essay.  You want to pour your thoughts, feelings, and facts onto paper in order to create the body.  Secondly, creating the conclusion then the introduction.  These are the main philosophies our instructor has taught us throughout the semester.  If you stick to these rules you will have a successful paper.  Good luck!
Ky, in blog week 8B: http://kyybyrd.blogspot.com/2012/10/blog-week-8b.html, when explaining the extended definition, remember to open up to your audience about what you are writing.  That way you intrigue your audience and keep them captivated with your knowledge.  Write everything down first, but do not forget to go back to elaborate on the "whys?" and the "how comes?"  Meaning the extended definitions intertwine with the meaning of your essay.  They go in depth in order for your audience to follow with the writer.  There is always room for improvement! 

Blog Week 12B: Just like a Vacation!

A continuation from Blog Week 12A, once you have landed at your desired destination, next comes a game plan in the sightseeing.  The organization skills you planned before making the trip will be put to good use.  The research would have made the sightseeing easier in the decision of what should be first and so on.  These tools will assist you in writing a well-developed essay.  The classification and division will come into play for the well-organized paper.  This will allow the reader and writer to stay together as one.  Exploring one site may have a few popular sites within, therefore you divide up that one site.  Remember classification and division are breakdowns of the subject.  Immediately, while you are touring the foreign place the objects, people, and places come in as exceptional visuals.  It is your eyes first time laying sight on all the diverse objects.  Your memory and camera takes pictures of all the extraordinary sites.  Visual rhetoric is the tool being used in your essay to share with your audience.  This tool helps your audience imagine all the sites, objects, and people you experienced while on your vacation.  Traveling to a foreign place can automatically trigger compare and contrast between your homeland and the destination of your choosing.  It is human nature to see what others have and what we may not.  As humans we take for granted our environment and sometimes we are bored of it.  We travel to exotic places and become in awe with the natives environment, but the natives feel the same way we did before we left on vacation, about their own environment.  Compare and Contrast definitely benefits the reader dissect two subjects similiarities and differences.  Sometimes a little vacation fixes our taking for granted, because once we arrive back home, the Wasatch Mountains are Magnificent Again!

Blog Week 12A: The Skeleton of an Essay

In order to plan a successful vacation, you must decide on where you would like to see.  Second, research must come after the decision, because it will help you decide on the destination that is suitable for you.  This entire decision- making comes in comparable to writing an essay.  It is wise to review my previous blogs to have a better understanding with this current one.  Rhetorical cannons are basic tools to produce a successful essay.  First thing is first.  Research and gathering material will lead into the Invention - creating a story, Second, selecting your target audience in order to select the correct comprehending strategies.  In other words using the correct vocabulary, the process, and depth of the article will help the audience to follow along.  When you are finished gathering research and have sense who your audience is, dump all your information onto paper; you are creating the body.  You want to start with the body first so that all the information is displayed.  In addition, it is easier to create the conclusion second, and lastly, the introduction.  Third, the Arrangement - having the story in chronological order and Style - how the story is told.  The style can have rhetorical tools such as a piecemeal, mutability/plasticity, or a open-ended closure.  Other tools a writer may incorporate are cause and effect, this helps the reader to comprehend the material in which is being read.  Visual rhetoric gives the reader visual images.  Sometimes visual rhetoric can trigger 'gazes' for the reader.  Compare and contrast guides the reader to find the similarities and differences of an object, subject, ideas, or analogies.  Memory - a mnemonic device, such as classification and division can assist the writer in breakdowns in any subject for a more organized read.  Delivery - to give interest to your audience, Explication/Implied - to give details to your readers and to communicate to your audience without being direct but understood, Analyze the obvious - the characters, plotting, set, and theme, and Familiar and Strange - when the reader can relate to the writer and odd experience to the reader.  The four last rhetorical cannons should be kept in mind when reviewing your own paper.  These goals must be kept to be successful writer.  At the very end of the paper, pass it to a peer for some positive feedback.  Always have an open mind for positive criticism.  Peer reviews are excellent ideas, because having a fresh pair of eyes can lead up to the final draft, the masterpiece.

Blog Week 11A: How to Create a Process Explaination Essay

When creating an explaination process essay, make sure you do your homework by researching the subject of choice.  That way you have the material you would like to present to your audience.  Organization is the key to entice and keep your audience's attention at all times. 
In getting started first an introduction on an essay sets the stage for your audience. Start with an attention grabber, such as famous quotes, poems, or lyrics to begin with the opening of the introduction. This immediately pulls the audience into the vital information that will soon follow leading into the essay. Build on the continuance of the information which leads into the purpose statement.  In the purpose statement, you will inform or present to the audience your discussion.  The object of the introduction gives your audience a 'road map' of the essay. It prepares the reader to follow through the essay without getting lost in your words.
Secondally, the road map that was presented in the introduction should show the pathway throughout the creation of the body in the essay.  The body is vitally important to the reader.  It holds all the information you are presenting to the audience.  You can apply rhetorical tools such as, classification and division, extended defintions, and cause and effect.  These particular tools will help the essay stay in chronological order, explain to the audience what something is they may not know, and to describe how something happens, we analyze it in order to predict what will happen.
Finally, the conclusion will sum up all the information you just wrote in the body.  Stating the purpose statement once more and again, utilizing the road map to help the reader to stay on path so they don't wander off.  The conclusion should always have the same ending in a explaination process essay.
These are the esstenial tools one should have to create and complete a explaination process essay in order to captivate the audience.

The Importance of an Intro: Blog Week 10A

An introduction on an essay sets the stage for your audience.  Start with an attention grabber, such as famous quotes, poems, or lyrics to begin with the opening of the introduction.  This immediately pulls the audience into the vital information that will soon follow leading into the essay.  Build on the continuance of the information which leads into the thesis statement.  The object of the introduction gives your audience a 'road map' of the essay.  It prepares the reader to follow through the essay without getting lost in your words. 

Week 9A Blog: Extended Definition of Classification and Division

Classification and Division occur in breakdowns of any particular subject.  The breakdowns assist the writer to place the material in sequential order for a more organized read.  In going back to my previous two blogs of The Importance of Extended Defintions will help explain classification and division.  As we search for answers, "Who is to blame for the deaths of innocent lives?"  Three questions we can start to examine by asking:

• Is it the New England Compounding Center's fault?
• Could it be the individual's immune system fault?  Not blaming the victim directly but the vulnerability of each person's immune system?
• The technique of the injection in which it was given to the patient? 

First question, the contamination site started within the pharmacy.  The importance of greed came first and the sterlization procedures were ignored and not followed through by the appropriate personnel.  Therefore, leaving room for terrible error on the pharmacist's behalf leading to hospitalization and deaths nationwide.  Some people may not know this but in majority pharmacies, pharmacy technicians compound the drugs and the pharmacists check the drugs and the required documentation of each compound that comes out of the labs.  Without the appropriate documentation or labeling another probability for error occured, the age of the drug.  Expiration dates are mandatory because the drug loses its capabilities or particles start to form, causing the drug to be unsafe.  In the end, the release of the drug to the public is at the hand's of the pharmacist, he/she is legally held responsible to any error that may occur.
Second question, the age of the patient plays a major role on the individual's immune system.  The older one exists the more vulnerable the immune system coexists.  The drug, methylprednisolone acetate is a steroid which suppresses the immune system.  The combination of a steroid and a pathogen given to already a weak immune system proves deadly.
Third question, what technique(s) was performed in giving the epidural injection?  The epidural site happens to be a crucial site for an injection, especially if not given from a licensed practioner.  Malpractice happens in some doctor's office without the patient's knowledge.  The patient enters into the office trusting that he/she's well-being comes first, but when policies are ignored and an unlicensed individual is given the needle to inject the patient, malpractice arises.  So can we blame the doctor, the office policies, or the individual who gave the injection?
Looking back to the original three questions, is it the New England Compounding Center's fault?Could it be the individual's immune system fault? Not blaming the victim directly but the vulnerability of each person's immune system?  The technique of the injection in which it was given to the patient?  Each main question reflects as a main heading which divides into the explainations and breakdown the material for the reader to follow through the entire article.
