Writing Process

Artifacts that demonstrate key parts of my writing processes for an assignment

Interactive Annotated Bib Assignment

This is the assignment sheet for the Interactive Annotated Bib. When we received this in class, I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea how I was going to complete it. On the first page, I wrote down the reading we have used this semester such as "Gee, Narrative, and Alcoholics Anonymous that we used to talk about identity and that shaped our definitions of identity. I wrote the word EXAMPLE in capital letters which served as a reference to me when I got lost. I knew my English teacher was looking for something like this when I was compiling my sources. On the second page, I underlined and circled the important information on that page. I also broke down wrote words in the margin around the parts in the assignment like "scientific stuff? community? Figured Worlds." I broke this Bibliography down into three parts: Gathering the Sources, writing the annotations and connections and creating the Prezi.

Cheerios Commerical

I used this Cheerios commercial as one of my sources for the project. I believed it would be a great source because it included a mixed child and her black dad an white mom. This dealt with my topic (interracial couples) and I knew I could make a connection between this and my other sources. This is the first commercial that spins off and has a second one about it. After this commercial was aired, people took to social media and expressed their disapprove. I was wondering why was everybody upset? Is it because of the mixed child or the relationship? In the second one, the white mother is now pregnant with a second baby and there is not as much of an uproar with the second commercial as the first.

First draft

I decided to write out my Interactive Annotated Bib on a piece of paper before I put it into a Prezi. At the time, I was still picking out my sources and wanted to explain the source and how I believe it connected to another source on paper in case I needed to erase it or toss the source altogether. I connected the Cheerios commercial course to the Nobody wants me source by connecting it to acceptance. When you are a mixed kid, you feel like you don't belong. In the 'Nobody wants Me' source, the girls grandparents did not accept her. Because she had a "little" black in her she was not white at all. And because she had a little "white" in her, she was too good and not black at all.
