Who is your audience?

• My audience is parents that have children (students grades Pre-K--12th grade) in the State of Florida.

What is your purpose?

• My purpose is to inform parents of how this bill will affects their child(ren) education in the State of Florida. I feel parents have a right to know what exactly is going on in their children place of education. 

Who is your community and how will they gain access to this project?

• What I did is, I explain the Pro/Con of this bill (sb-736) and try to lay it out to where anyone could understand it. then near the end, I explain where I stand on this bill. I try to use creditable information to back my claims.

What is the format of this project (Writing to Inform, Convince, Solve Problems)?

• My format of this paper is a "Writing to Inform" (since I want to explain the bill) and a "Writing to Convince" (Since I am writing about my Point of View of the topic).

What feedback do you need from peers/instructors?

• I would like to know if i have a strong argument.Also, am I answering all of the questions from the rubric. I do not want to go off in the wrong direction to late in the timeline and not have enough time to get back on track. 

Reflection on Rhetorical Analysis Essay

Rhetorical Knowledge

• My purpose for writing this assignment is to write about the connection between teachers' pay vs. teachers performance. My primary audience will be parents. I will be writing it in an essay format. I choose the teachers union side, so I will be speaking in an argument tone.

CRWT

• In my paper, I research the bill and try to understand the draft.
• I used sites like Best Buy or other information areas.
Composing Processes
• I write the out with a pro/con format. I wanted to make sure the reader could understand points of the bill. I feel I did a good job organizing it. My teammate gave me advice when it came to make it better with his peer review.

Knowledge of Conventions

• When it came to editing, I wanted to keep the track changes on because I wanted to see my edits before I saved. It’s important to edit because, you item can always change in the course of you writing about it. I hope to get more into detail of my item in the upcoming drafts. When it came to sources, I used footnotes to help make my argument more creditable.

Writing Technologies

• I used my Word Processor, to type my pages as well as the internet for information. Email was a good way to send information to me when I didn't have a flash drive.

4/11/11 Writing Assignment update

im currently trying to writing in more of my opinion and support it with documents on trust internet sources. I will use those sources as footnotes. I explained what the bill is (pros/cons).

Explain your rubric choices for your assignment;....explain what changes you still need to make.

Explain your rubric choices for your assignment; outline the changes you have made to your Community Writing Assignment; and explain what changes you still need to make.

I have decided to keep the same rubrics on which the professor have given because, my paper is an essay format. So most/if not all questions currently on the rubric could relate to my topic. I wanted to make sure I gave good argument point in my paper. I still need to express more of what side I am on because that would make it a good “Writing to Convince” paper. Currently, I believe it is a great “Writing to Inform” paper.

Overview and note to peers/instructors

Revised Overview of Community Writing Assignment
What is working well in this assignment?
Where do you need feedback in this assignment? What do you want your peers to read for? What are you most concerned about in this assignment?


I updated the negative of the Florida Senate Bill SB-736. I started to put in my opinion of the bill in my paper. I sided with the teachers Union. I gave my reasons in my paper. There is a lot of information on this issues because it is a current issue plus, a lot of newspapers have publish this article state-wide. I would like to get feedback on the idea if i am going in the right direction. I tend to put a lot of information in my work that may/may not be 100 percent related to my topic.

4/4/11 Community Writing Changes

First off, the reason why my paper is the way it is, is because, my initial draft was in that first paragraph. When it came time to make the changes, I put a page break in the page to show where my initial paragraph was and where the new draft was. This is something beneficial for me to look back and see the changes that i am making. Also, when it comes to the final draft, i can take the final draft and put in on a new page.
