SLO A Reflection

There were many genres that I have analyzed so far. These genres included editorials, research news articles, visual timelines, and historical documents in a wide variety of topics. I chose those genres because they were unusual genres and I hadn’t learned the purpose of some of these genres yet and they were interesting because they were unusual. I learned in the editorials that since they are personal doesn’t mean that they have to have an informal register and can keep a formal and professional register throughout a piece. I learned for my career was focused in SWA 2 with a visual timeline that was very informational.

My favorite genre to research was the editorial documents that I found online. I was able to research an editorial from 1966 and to see how it was formatted to convey an idea concerning engineering was very interesting. While I was researching I was able to compare it to other editorials that were recent and analyzes the genre conventions but also the style of writing between the years.

The genres I wrote in varied between the three major assignments we did throughout this sequence. For SWA 1 I wrote an essay about a historical casting for Judy Garland for Dorothy and analyzes the subtle genres. For SWA 2 I wrote a field entry guide for my major and was a very interesting writing because it was not a usual assignment and wrote in small sentences and not long paragraphs. Lastly for MWA 1 the genre I wrote in was a genre convention reflection essay that I analyzed multiple editorial pieces in electrical engineering that was not of the norm and broke the normal genre conventions. Each of these assignments were different genres and allowed for my writing to grow.

I don’t have any questions about the different genres. It was interesting to learn about how conventions can be subtly broken and can be unnoticed if not looking for them.
