Reflection for Project 2 and 3 – 10/7/15

Reading log 2

Dirk and Swales for project 2: Dirk is a good reference for writing any type of paper. I can actually look back and read his advice and use it. For Swales, I can apply acknowledging who my audience is, realizing that my audience is part of a discourse community. This means that I will pay attention to details such as the lexis, common goal, and the exchanging of information.

Reading log 3

Dirk and Swales for project 3: Dirk can be applied in the same way that I applied his writing to project 2. The interesting oddity about Dirk is that he talks about so much information but all of it is important. He also boosts the writer with confidence but yet gives direct guidelines in which an excellent writer should follow. In utilizing swales writing I am referring to the specific six criterion to help explain why the CI Climate Symposium is a discourse community. I love the format in swales because the number system makes it convenient to go back and refer to the information.
