Where have you come so far in regards to the unit?

I have found out that pretty much anything can be a genre like as simple as a text, a whiteboard, and to even a billboard. I had no idea that we have structure to everything that we write. When we write things in a text it is totally different then writing a paper I knew this, but I never really thought about how different they really are. I knew all of it was writing and I just thought they were all the same writing. In reality they are all different genres and completely different contents. I never thought of all the different genres there actually are in this world.


What have you learned, give specifics? 

I have learned about the different types of writing and how there are different types of genres. When you write a paper it is a different genre from writing an article because there is different content to both. I have found out that in different genres there is different content. The different content would be like location, how you write it, and what you use to write on/ in. Location is where you write like if it is a dairy you normally write it in a private place like a bedroom. How you write it is the structure of it like in an article you need a title and by whom it was written by. What you use to  write on/ in like texting you would type it on your phone or when you write an article you would most likely type it on a computer, but with a message in a dairy it would be on a dairy page in the dairy.


What questions do you still have for me?

I do not have any questions for you because I completely understand what I am do for this project and I understand what is going on in the classroom.


Is there something that you really don’t understand?

I understand everything that we are doing right now. I understand that pretty much anything is a different genre. When you break something in a genre it is weird to because we are use to structure and we as human do not do well with change if we think it has a structure of doing it.


What do you think you are doing really well?

I think I have done well at understand the different genres in the world. Being in this English 101 class I have learned about the different genres in the world and how pretty much anything is a different genre. I have done well at try to write these blogs because I have a hard to at writing how I feel or what I have done well at or just writing in general. I know I am still learning, but I have tried very well at it.


Is there anything else that you really want to talk to about?

I do not have anything that I really want to talk about because I have no questions and I understand things for this unit. I do not have anything to say about this project because I understand what I have to do.


Use specifics examples from both your work as well as the other work read/examined in class in order to more successfully back up your claims.

I think being more successfully in this unit you need to understand the different genres and how they can be broken. In unit two project I think to be successful is to do more experiences with breaking the genre and having more information from the experiences you do. With having more information you can explain more on the project and have a better project. People will get more out of the project if you get more information and that means more experiences on breaking the genre.
