Professional Documents
Culture Documents
Throughout the semester, I completed series of assignments meant to strengthen my ability to write and
communicate effectively. Personally, I am a kinesthetic and visual learner, so for me English classes have
always been troubling. Finding an English course that used interactive methods of learning the
information was a life changing experience. Today, I will provide you with two outcomes I developed
from revising my first blog; developing strategies for analyzing organizational texts and context,
designing documents that meets the needs of audiences, developing and applying skills in
expressing myself orally or in writing

Therefore, I decided to change just about everything about the organization and context of my paper. From
figure 2 you can see that I decided to make attorneys my target audience and heuristics my purpose.

Second, I changed the example. In figure 3, you can see that the example paragraph did not include
context as to why it was there.

In my revision blog, I decided to introduce my example first then followed up with context. Figure 4
shows the changes made to the example which was then followed up with stasis questions.

Designing documents
While I may not be the most artistic person on the planet, I have made improvements in designing
documents that meets the needs of my audiences. I exemplified this outcome on my white paper. Figure 5
shows the white paper which is eye-catching-yet-professional. The white paper addresses law firm owners
by providing them the effects and statistics of using social media outlets such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

I learned the significance of reflections. Reflecting on ones writing develops and allows one to
express orally and in writing. I worked on multiple journals which allowed me to think about
what worked and what did not work for my assignment. Figure 6 illustrates my reflection for the
white paper. I incorporated the changes I suggested myself when revising my white paper. The
self-assessment allowed me to gain creative growth, develop transferable writing skills, and
rhetorical expertise.
