Core Value 1. My work demonstrates that I used a variety of social and interactive practices that involve recursive stages of exploration, discovery, conceptualization, and development.

My research paper demonstrates that I used a variety of social and interactive practices that involve recursive stages of exploration, discovery, conceptualization, and development. This was a combination of all three of my 1000 word papers. I think coming from a school that didn’t prioritized writing over things like basic reading and math hurt me in being able to be a stronger writer but I think over all my writing has improved mainly with my grammar and overall ability to write.

Core Value 2. My work demonstrates that I read critically, and that I placed texts into conversation with one another to create meaning by synthesizing ideas from various discourse communities. 

I believe that my rebuttal argument demonstrates that I read critically, and that I placed texts into conversation with one another to create meaning by synthesizing ideas from various discourse communities. My rebuttal shows that I was able to defend what I wrote by being able to argue with the opponent create meaning by using sources to defend my ideas and point of views.

Core Value 3. My work demonstrates that I rhetorically analyzed the purpose, audience, and contexts of my own writing and other texts and visual arguments.

My visual rhetoric assignment demonstrates that I rhetorically analyzed the purpose, audience, and contexts of my own writing and other texts and visual arguments. I was able to use a 30 second video and break it down into multiple paragraphs. It was first hard to describe a 30 second clip in such great detail but it became easier to describe as I looked closer. The assignment became surprisingly fun after a while.

Core Value 4: My work demonstrates that I have met the expectations of academic writing by locating, evaluating, and incorporating illustrations and evidence to support my own ideas and interpretations.

I believe that my rebuttal argument demonstrates that I have met the expectations of academic writing by locating, evaluating, and incorporating illustrations and evidence to support my own ideas and interpretations. I was able to use the article that negatively painted my idea and take it using my prior knowledge on the subject and other sources that I found to support my ideas using my evaluating of the evidence that I had gathered. 

Core Value 5. My work demonstrates that I respect my ethical responsibility to represent complex ideas fairly and to the sources of my information with appropriate citation. 

I believe that all of my work demonstrates that I respect my ethical responsibility to represent complex ideas fairly and to the sources of my information with appropriate citation. I feel that through writing it is to be shared which makes it a social art form. When using others’ works you need to credit them and give them proper credit. Writing can help express your point of view on issues. When addressing others you need to be respectful of their positions. You can’t just outright deny it, you need to address it with logic to back your claim or side.
