Writer’s Journal Prompt [Blogs@Baruch]
Your final assignments are Revision 1 and Revision 2. In your Writer’s Journal this week, choose one major project (Literacy Narrative, Analysis, or Research Project) you would like to experiment with in a Revision. Use your analysis skills to make a plan for revision.
- What is the occasion, exigency, and Kairos for your project?
- How does your project respond? What is the purpose of your project?
- Who is the audience (primary and secondary) for your project?
- What are the relationships between:
- you as writer and the audience
- you as writer and the project
- audience and project
- What feels effective about your project? What do you think could be improved upon?
Finally, review your responses and brainstorm some ideas for revisions:
- What feedback did you receive that will be useful during the Revision process?
- What form will it take (same format? Print paper? Video? Podcast? PSA campaign?)
- What new affordances and constraints will your Revision have especially if you change format or genre?
- What new content will you need to create and what can you repurpose?
- How long will this Revision take? Break up your revision practice into smaller tasks and add them to your schedule/calendar or just a to-do list.
