Thlogging 4

I feel like we did so much this week, I don't really even know what to write about. I found the Murder activity to be really interesting because many of us haven't had any training writing newspaper articles or dead body reports, but we still knew how to do it. Even if we didn't know the exact jargon, we knew enough to get the idea across. I also liked the definitions Janet Boyd provided-at the end of her article-for rhetoric, audience, rhetorical situation, genre, etc. Her definitions revealed how easily we have been using rhetoric since we started writing with out even knowing what it meant.

I enjoyed the introduction of writers' moves, but I'm still trying to figure out how to identify the different moves with a reading. While reading the Starting Lines piece and answering the questions, I was sort of stumped when it came to be specific about the moves she used as a writer.  I understood the moves in lesson, about how you can use hashtags for a specific audience and whatnot, but I still had trouble identifying the Starting Lines' writers' moves. I'm sure with a little bit more practice, I'll be able to understand it better. 

It was pretty cool identifying the different types of evidence used for the different types of disciplines. The Finding Evidence article was very in depth about all of the different ways to find evidence, and I'm sure it is going to be a good resource for future PBs and WPs.  

Great week, all.
