Week 7

Reflection blog:
I like my topic because it is about both the past and our current life. My audience is who shares the same interest with me. I like to discuss with people like this. I designed my webtext in accordance with my own taste. Some of my audiences think the page is too boring to fit my topic, fashion. Well, we have our own concept of fashion now. Fortunately, I am talking about the general fashion and its relationship with the history of feminism. Therefore the differences between our understandings of modern fashion will not affect the content of my webtext. My organization is a little confusing. I will make it better in my 1500 words draft. Besides, I do not think I have done enough research for my project, which I will develop in my next steps. I will quote and paraphrase more of other experts’ works because I think their words are more powerful and authoritative than mine. I will make my final work more reliable and convincing. However, the final purpose of my project is to inform my audience how fashion reflects feminism. As a result, my project will provide a lot of information about fashion and feminism, which requires a lot of research too. My resources so far have some negative points and some positive points as well as some neutral points. In my future research, there must be lots of information. I will carefully choose helpful ones that can improve my text. I will also correct my language problems. So far, I have my thesis, my whole structure, my main points and my conclusion. My text is going well following my plan. So I will keep working on it and my podcast as well. I hope my audience and my instructor can offer me more advices on it.


Podcast Respond:
The subject of this podcast is the e-books in colleges. The audience is people who concern about collage education. And the purpose of this podcast is to argue about whether e-books or physical books are more beneficial. The speaker build her ethos through the interviews on students and instructors and logos through the comparison of e-books and physical books. The pathos of this podcast is whether for or against e-books in college. The differences between the speakers are some of them considered this issue from economical points and some of them thought from the benefits for study. Their tone is casual because they are casual interviews.

Week 6

post-conference
basically, my project has no big problems, but some definitions need more explaination. Further more, I will add pictures to my webtext to illustrate my points.

Post-peer review
From the feedback Sara gave me, I can see she wants me to write more about today's fashion and how it reflects feminism. She also points out that one of my links cannot work so I should fix it before my next step. about the pictures, I think fashion is not all about colorful stuffs. For instance, Chanel use black and white mostly and it is classic. I believe simplicity can also be fashion. Also I will make my audience more clear. I really appreciate her feedback. It helps me improve my webtext.

I wanna discuss about...

1. What do you think I can develop my topic so that it can be more academic?
2. Which part should be more specific?
3. What can be added in order to make my essay more interesting?
(to be continued...)

my audience

I asume my audience to be those who are interested in the histories of feminism or fashion or both of them. Most of them should be women who are more liberal. Men who are curious about the revolution of women or fashion may also be my audience. So my audience could be quite random and global.
Since English has already become the most wildly used language in the world, it is well spreaded in most of the countries. For instance, most people in big cities can speak at least the basic English. Therefore, my audience will be able to read English as well. Besides, those who are interested in this topic must be educated. They may not be familiar with the topic. That is fine because my purpose of this paper is doing the research and informing them about the relationship between fashion and feminism.
My very first audience will be my instructor and my classmates who are quite familiar with my written work. they think my work is understandable. I hope they could give some advice on my language and content problems.

My purpose of this essay is to inform my audience the relationship between the development of fashion and the revolution of feminism. I plan to use examples to illustrate my topic in order to make my essay successful. my tone should be as objective as possible so that my essay can be convincing and authentic to my audience.
