Reflection on Project 1 Draft

For my peer review, I looked at the QRGs of Casey and Evan. After reading through the comments that I received and giving feedbacks to my peers, I will analyze what I've gained from the experience and the new understandings I have regarding audience and context.

Audience

  1. Who will be reading it?- While this QRG is written surrounding a subject in the field of english and education, the true audience is my peers and professor. They will undoubtably be reading my piece and are a reliable audience. 
  2. What are their expectations and am I reaching them?-It is the expectations of my peers and professor to read a well-composed and concise QRG that demonstrates and executes the conventions of the genre accurately. At this moment, I think that I've fallen short in a couple of these areas and fully intent to extensively revise to strengthen them. 
  3. How much information should I provide?-It's important that I provide enough context for this audience, who likely have little to no knowledge of the debate, for them to understand the fundamentals. However, that is the goal of the QRG and should not go on to argue or take a stance on the issue. I think I have enough context and only need more statistics and quotes to reach the right amount of information. 
  4. What is the appropriate language?- The language should demonstrate a style and tone, but remain professional. It is a school setting, after all. 
  5. What tone should I use?-I should be as mindful of my audience's unfamiliarity with the topic as I can without being condescending or dismissive of their lack of knowledge. I'm consistent with this throughout my draft. 
Audience
  1. What are the formatting requirements and do I meet them?-I'm well aware that I fall short in several formatting requirements right now, specifically quotes, white space, and links. Images, titles, and subtitles are required and I use them appropriately. 
  2. What is the content requirement and do I meet it?-It is necessary that I present both sides of a debate and that which composes either side, including people, arguments, events, and mediums in which the debate occurs. All of these I address rather well, only lacking in specific examples. 
  3. Does my draft contain skill and personality?-The draft does demonstrate knowledge of the genre gained in class. It has a little bit of less prominent voice, but still demonstrates my style of writing. 
  4. Have I addressed grammatical issues?-Most grammar has been addressed, but I can still review specifically for the ideas in the Clarity portion of our assignment.
