The goal of this project is to communicate the research of another author to a specialized audience. Through this process, I have acquired the skill of co-authoring and further honed my organization and ability to identify my audience. The writing process focused on identifying my audience and then organizing ideas and points I wanted to focus on. These skills are important both academically and professionally and can be applied to any form of writing from academic papers to social media posts.
My Writing Process
My Writing Process
Before entering this class, I would organize my ideas before writing usually by creating an outline. For larger more in-depth projects, I would create a document and list the sources and how I would use them and important facts. Composing the grid for the literature review helped me more effectively organize my sources and create connections between many sources. This class has helped evolve my writing process by thinking more about the audience of the writing. Identifying the audience makes it easier to determine the language, style, and type of evidence to use.
