Final Blog Unit #2

Where have you come in regards to this unit?


I have learned about the many genres because I had no idea that almost everything we write is a different genre like writing a paper, newspaper articles, facebook statues, and even text messages. I have come in regards to this unit is getting to understand how people respond do the breaking  of a genre.


What have you learned, nothing specifics?


I have learned about how when breaking a genre people respond very differently. They can respond by yelling, being confused, and just did not care. I have learned about how everything can be a genre. In genres, you can break them and I had know idea if you break a genre people will look at it differently. I never realized people looked at them differently.


What do you think is the “big takeaway” for you, that thing that will really stick with you?

I think the big takeaway for me is I learned about the different genres in writing. I think another big takeaway is I never realized that people looked at genres a certain. When people look at genres like an essays, you think it should be typed on white paper, texting language would not be in a paper you would turn into a teacher, or changing the contents of a ticket. I never knew that genres had like “rules” to doing them.


What questions still linger even though the unit is “finished”?


I do not think I have any questions lingering in my head about this unit now because it is almost over. If I had a question still lingering in my head now I should have asked it way before now because it is the end of the unit and everything is due tomorrow. I do not have any questions that are lingering in head. Think you explained things very well and that is why I have no questions to ask.


What did you do really well?


I think I did really well at understanding the different genres and how they work. I think I did well understand the breaking of a genre because I was not in class that day you explained it. I picked up the concept really well and totally understood it. I did well with how there are a lot of different genres and I understood how they worked.


Is there anything else you really want to talk about? Say it.

I do not really have anything to say because I do not have questions to ask or anything to talk about. As I said in the question about it there is any questions to ask I should have already come and talk to you about it. It is the end of the unit and I should have came to you before it was over, but I do not have anything to talk about or ask. I think you explain over thing very well that I did not have anything to say or ask about.

Use specific examples to successfully back up all claims, specific quotations, page numbers, etc. so I know exactly what you’re talking about.


We did a Illinois State policy ticket and changed the contents of the ticket. We put on the ticket if someone had a window open over break or if they did not follow the rules for when you leave for break. I found out that not many people freaked out as much because they were just confused about the ticket and why they got it. I thought that more people would have freaked out about having a ticket under their dorm room door. If I had a ticket under my door I probably would not have read it, but just freaked out because there is a ticket under my door. I would have been really confused and tried to think what did I do wrong. I thought in my research there would have been more people that freaked out and did not read the contents of the ticket.
