For blog post #13 I will be talking about my research project based on the film “Miss Representation”. Each key point in the film supports my thesis on how the medias bias prevents young girls from achieving positions of power in American society.
For my research project I decided to use the film Miss Representation for my main source along with a few other sources. My rhetorical purpose is to persuade using argumentation. I chose the Genre of an MLA Research Paper with MLA style citations. My primary audience for my paper is the media and young girls, for them to know how their bias prevents and discourages young girls and their aspirations of achieving positions of power in American society and for young girls to not allow the media to prevent them from achieving their goals. In class we disused our thesis statements and how to better them using TPS and GPS. Using TPS and GPA helped better my thesis on keeping my research project on straight path without going off of topic, and how to properly grab my audiences attention with mu subject, opinion, an sources. What we learned about in class was different from what I have done before and it was a tad bit uncomfortable in doing stuff differently. What we learned in class made me think of why we were doing it so much differently in this class then my previous experiences in writing research papers. It makes more sense in a way it grabs the audiences attention with the topic and helps the readers understand what my position is on the topic, as well as what the reasons for my position are. Over all the hardest part of writing this paper and thesis is staying on topic but from what we learned in class I think it will really help improve my paper and future writing.

This post provides a clear re-purposing of the assignment sheet activity we completed in class. That can be helpful to you and your audience. How might this post benefit from more insights into the argument, development of initial ideas, and links to the assignment sheet and possible sources?

I like how you stated what type of writing you were going to be doing. I also liked how you included your intended audience. After you mentioned who your audience was you went on to explain why you choose that specific group to be your audience. I think this is beneficial to your blog post. I also liked how you included your rhetorical purpose in your post.
