I begin my writing at my desk in my dorm room with a pencil and paper because when I sit at a computer I get distracted by getting online or listening to music. I use an outline to show myself what I want to say, and what points I want to get across. My outline actually says what I want to say in each section of the paper.
When it comes time to make a rough draft I already know where I want to put certain ideas at in the paper. When I revise I go back and re-read what I have wrote to make sure everything flows nicely, and that I got across the points I was trying to make. Then I go back and read it out loud to see if the paper makes sense.
Workshopping is not my favorite thing to do because most people do not want to offend the writer. The result is usually "oh, your paper is really good you just spelled this wrong." I think only once I have gotten decent feedback on a paper from a peer, but it was only because they were writing about the same subject as me and we got idaes from each other.
Compared to my classmates I think my writing process is similar. Except I have bad ADHD so I cannot sit at my computer and start typing, or listen to music while I write. I want to try giving my paper to person outside of my class to see if they understood it and ask them for help in the revision process.

Feedback for Essay R
I would say that the author of this essay needs to have more facts about wrestling in the 80's. I thought that it was going to be a compare/contrast paper on the 80's vs. now about professional wrestling, but all the author did was exlain how much better the wrestlers are now. There needs to be more background information about professionaly wrestling period because the author wrote in a way that only someone who knew about wrestling would understand. There are alot of grammar issues from the changing of the point of view because you do not understand who is saying what and why. The paper is set up in a way that he is trying to say anything to make professional wrestling in the present so much better, which leaves out the 80's era of wrestling again. However, I was interested in the paper and I believe that the author had a lot of good ideas, but it needs to be more organized.
Workshop Draft
1. I think that a workshop draft looks like a bunch of ideas put onto a piece of paper. The ideas are not going to flow, it won't be organized, and it may not make sense at all. However, according to your genre each idea has something to do with it.
2. The purpose of a worshop draft is to get your ideas out about that genre. The audience depends on what type of genre you choose. There can be different audiences for one specific genre, but a specific genre might relate to one audience better.
3.A finished draft will have the purpose of the genre tie in with the audience. The genre will relate specifically to that designated audience, and it will get the purpose across appropriately.

Essay R
Grade: C+
I would give this paper a C+ mainly because it kept me interested. I like how there were examples of how the wrestling industry has kept their audiences entertained. However, I think there needed to be more information about wrestling in the 80's since that was a huge part of the paper. The paper was well written, but it is missing half of the information it needs to make it a complete paper.

Chapter 2h
1. I imagine the rhetorical situation being that the author of the article is not persuasvie. The main purpose is to point the fact that the article did not persuade the readers. The aduience is college students because of the way he was writing and the where he published the article.
2. I recognize pursuasive essay genre. I have written in this genre once before in high school about how the divorce process should be longer, and the marriage process should be more rigorous. I
3. The author could have used a documnetary. The advantages of a documentray is that it would be entertaining. A disadvantage is that they are biased and they might not present the other side of the argument at all.
4. Another genre to communicate his purposes to a different audience would be a Pamphlet to people at a business office. Since business people are busy that would just need the general information of why they should not vote for Hillary. The author would have to write with more sophistocated words, but chop out all the unnessecary details.
5. I think a teacher would use a persuasive essay. However, I think a Social worker would just say what they think, and a scientist would use examples or charts on why they should not vote for Hillary.
