"how has your process of writing a paper changed since starting this class?" and has it helped?

 Before the class started my writing process was pretty simple. I would start by type a paper without making an outline of my ideas. I would like ramble and put all my thoughts on paper and then I would spellcheck. I would never look at the grammar and make sure that my paper made sense and that it wasn't just a bunch of ramble. I would always get so many red marks on my paper and I would never know why.
        Once we started class my teacher gave us new ways to write papers. She said we could start outlines to get all of out ideas out on paper before we start out paper. Then after we wrote our paper we would have peer groups. Where we would read different students papers and then tell them what they need to change. After that we would go meet with the teacher and have a meeting asking any other questions we had about our paper.
     I think this has really helped me because now I make outlines for my papers, I write them and check spelling but I also look at the grammar. My process has also helped me because now I have at least 4 to 5 people looking over my paper and helping me make it better. This writing process has helped me a lot because now I have a different opinions, and outsiders look. This helps me a lot because then I can think about how they saw my paper and if i got my point across to them.

 My views about advertisement really haven't changed much because before this project I still analyzed ever interesting ad I came along. although I really only just looked at it and wondered what they were selling I didn't think about the emotional apparel or who the audience was I mostly just wondered what the logic was behind the advertisement. I never thought I was a passive reader but I will admit that this paper made me think  more about ads and more in debt about them. i have noticed a somewhat of a little change i noticed that now I always think about ethos pathos and logos when i'm looking at ads which takes it ten times longer to get through a magazine.

I view visuals by looking at the ad intently. I always try to think about what they are trying to convey. What the product is because a lot of visuals you see today have random things in the ad that has nothing to do with the product but the people creating the ad think it will get peoples attention to ad random things,which would make you buy their product. theres not a lot of ads/visuals I like, I think a lot of them are stupid and have random hidden meaning that don't make any sense. One visual I saw recently was a Doritos  commercial  that had a guy showing the dog that was outside the Doritos he was like rubbing it in the dogs face and then all of a sudden the dog came running in and knocked the door down on top of him.  I read into the commercial so many times trying to figure out what they meant and why they put a dog in it like that.  I don't think I am a passive reader at all. everything I come across I always look at and try to think what they were trying to say by putting what they did into each commercial and visuals. I pick every little thing apart I think its really interesting to look at visuals.

When I give a presentation I always try to look at one person and focus on them so I don't get nervous. I will focus on the teacher normally because it is easier to focus on the teacher and make eye contact with them then one of your piers. i always get nervous getting up to present someone. Its a lot easier if i know the people in the class because then if you say something wrong or do something wrong its not as embarrassing because you know the students in your class. when i don't know them it does change a lot because i get more nervous thinking what are they thinking about me. it also depends on how big the class is. if its 10 to 20 students it is not as bad but anymore then that i never know where to look and it gets over whelming.
Every time I have presented something I have been able to see my audience so that doesn't change as much as how many people are there and who they are. It affects me as a speaker because when I can see my audience I get more nervous and tend to say um and forget what I am saying. In the future of presenting  I see myself practicing in front of some friends to avoid saying um and forgetting where I am at. I will focus on staring at the wall but looking around at different walls to make it look like i am looking at the audience so to not get nervous. Presenting in front of our writing class wasn't as bad as normally presenting in other classes I think it was easier because the class was chill and we all kind of knew a little bit of each other.
