project 5 format

A collage of what i have done in the semester so far is the first thing that comes to mind because that's what the project is basically.
This entire semester has been me writing about evens and people in my life so another idea is some sort of scrapbook, my audience would be madhu because she has been reading my projects thus far and it should be interesting to put faces to all those names and stories.
a drwing of something could make a cool form because we have been writing and writing so take a break and portray stories through a picture.

It shows me that it is not hard to connect things that dont really relate until you look closer. Project 5 is connecting our old projects which is each of the words that i wrote down and i was able to connect the words so why not connect the stories. I will be able to tell a story of what has happened in this class all semester but relating some of the stories i have already told and creating a brand new story of the semester.

Mapping

I found that i wrote down knowledge and intellectual production as my first 2 words, this was the main theme of the class so it almost served as a title for the entire list of words that i came up with. i also wrote form, methodology and theme which were all words that were often used on rubrics we created and as a guide for each project. Transcribe and performance are recent words we have been using lately which also relate to the form of what is being done. not liner is another word that i wrote down as something we have done in class because all of our projects were stories but most of them were far from linear. linear relates to stories, its what wee created and each story created intellectual production and knowledge with it.

project 3 discussion relection

In this discussion i found that we all have similar ideas and definitions of transgressions. All of our audiences were our peer group and people in our community. None of the ideas were similar but to me it helped me to refine my ideas and make them more of a transgression rather than just an activity for the project. The ideas all had to do with our age groups social norms, the way we dress, the way we look and how we act or look at other people who don't follow these unwritten rules. College students all seem to think that they all have to be the same, act the same and those who don't are always very very different.
Facebook audience: my friends, i am saying that it is not necessary to have electronics to have friends
Environment: college aged girls, i am saying that girls do not need to dress a certian way when they go out to parties
secret: everyoe who walked by where i left it, i am leaving my secret to be found by others anyone, strangers

Dear Bruce,

In our WRA 140 class we have been using your book to learn more on how to research. For today's class we had to complete reading the second chapter and i found it very useful when searching online. The activity was to search online for transgressions in other cultures, fist i tried it my way to search very general and i got no where. The i used the techniques that you discuss in your book and i found everything i needed to find. In our project that we are working on now i think that your research tips will benefit me greatly. Although the type of class this is, doesn't quite include too much researching so it is not completely relevant, but this project includes a small amount of research, not sure how yet because Madhu, our teacher has not explained it yet. It is unfortunate that my college writing class does not include research because i think it would be beneficial to my future and in my career. But in the future at this University and beyond i will use the information that i have gathered from reading your book to write papers and research topics.
Thank you,
Risa Juliano

thursdays class

On thursday in class we discussed transgression and resistance and how they relate to each other. Transgression is going against the social norms that are set by society. It is going against what majority would expect. Resistance in the case that we talked about is those who don't want to transgress and want to stay in line with the norms. In order to have resistance there has to be a set something for people to resist.
