Peer editing

Image result for peer editing
Peer editing has always been something people hear and most of the time their first reaction is "ugh peer editing", but peer editing can actually be very beneficial to everyone that takes it seriously. The rubrics that are used to grade papers is most of the time the same ruric that is used to grade your actual paper. When peer editing is taken seriously it lets another person read your work and tell you what you should change or add to your writing to make it better and possibly get a better grade.

Over the times that we have used peer editing in this class it has helped me change my papers for the better and I will continue to have others look at my writing in the future because of the feedback that I have received.

    I agree it is always a great thing to get a 2nd pair of eyes to look at your paper before turning it in. During peer edits it seems that someone is able to catch a mistake that I over looked many times. I feel as if Peer editing is very important to writing a great paper.

    I certainly agree too because it's nice to have someone other than the teacher to look at my assignment before its turned in. I also like when people take it seriously and critique my work so that way I can fix my errors before the teacher sees them.

    From past experiences, it is important to always have a second or even a third opinion on your paper. The more people that have a chance to edit it, can be more ideas that you can incorporate in your own paper. There have been times where I am writing a paper and someone has a good example that I might put into my own words. It's all about using good resources and having people around that can enhance an essay to be better.

    I personally was the person on the first day of the peer workshop to say "ugh peer editing". I did not like the thought of sharing my writing and having the people in my group tell me what they thought about it. But when I got into class I realized nobody else wanted to do it either. So it made the first peer edit not as stressful. Looking back on it I have seen a change in my writing projects because of the peer workshops.

    I've always hated peer editing because I thought it was stupid and never really got good feedback, but after peer editing in this class I learned how beneficial it can be when you actually care about helping your classmates improve and they also want to help you improve. It also helped me by seeing others papers and seeing how they went about each prompt.

    Peer editing has been so beneficial for me personally. As humans, we all make mistakes, especially when writing. Peer editing has allowed me to create a more clear, and constructed paper. The ability to ask others for their opinion has greatly improved my writing and my skills as a writer.

Rhetoric Discussion In Class

The question, "What is Rhetoric?", has been asked many times in the classroom. This topic has been controversial because of the many definitions that come with the word "rhetoric". People often say that this is based on the art of persuasion and they are correct, but there is so much more that contributes to a good definition. When sitting in the middle of the discussion, I kept questioning whether my statement was correct. There are so many ideas that could be thought of and rhetoric can even be a manipulative power that can be used towards convincing individuals their arguments are wrong. Using this in society is how humans function in daily life. With these thoughts in my mind, I began to wonder what life would be like without rhetoric.

The US using a "Ninja Bomb" in Syria?

Image
Recently an interesting article was posted to Business insider talking about how a US drone was able to eliminate a terriost threat using a missile to strike a mini van that was traveling through Atmeh in Syria. But the most interesting part was the missile was not packed with explosives instead swords The main targets in the strike were elites in a grouped named the red bands. The mini van seemed intact besides the driver side where is was torn in shreds. This was created and used to reduce civilian causalities. In review its crazy to see how modern day weaponry is being intovative to solve problems of civilian causalities .

Are you aware of what is in your food?

Many food providers and producers do not bring full awareness to the ingredients and parts of the products that they make and sell. Many companies hide ingredients to promote it as healthier. For example, Gatorade is known as a "healthier" drink than soda. It is promoted as being a healthy alternative to drinking soda. However, Gatorade contains as much, or more, sugar as soda. Recently, schools across the country have been replacing soda in vending machines with Gatorade. Another example would be flavored drinks. Most "fruit flavored" drinks do not include the actual fruit. The taste is coming from an artificial chemical.
