Unit 1 Free Writes


This was the very first free write of the semester and I chose it for this post partially because I like the content in it and partially because of how I felt about free writing for the first time in a while. I am like most people in the fact that I have never done a free write on my own. However, I have done a fair amount of free writing in previous classes at Syracuse as well as in high school. I have definitely come to appreciate the activity of free writing more as I've gotten older and the ability to freely express my self in school work has become less and less. Simply being able to pour random thoughts out onto a page and not being judged or graded for their quality or depth of insight is refreshing and the first free write of this class reminded me of the satisfaction I take in this activity.

    The fact that you get to live off campus is an experience in itself. You will come to find out what works best for all of you. Good luck! - Naiya

Unit 1 Portfolio

Source 1: Pencils To Pixels [Book Chapter] lthough we accessed Baron's Pencils to Pixels through a University's  English department website, the text is in a rather familiar and traditional format; a book chapter. This in and of itself is interesting because it shows how traditional written formats have been adapted to meet the demand of the digital age. For the purposes of having a class read this chapter the digital format is much more convenient and eco-friendly, but does lack the hands on connection that reading on paper and being able to highlight and annotate in the margins provides. The formatting of the digital text also leaves something to be desired. Clearly a university English department isn’t going to have the beautiful interface of modern digital publications that arose during the internet age. However, text that stretches all the way across the screen with no margins and appears to have multiple fonts and sizes mixed in throughout the transcript is less t...

Abstract/Pitch

I sent this abstract in the form of an email to several teachers and administrators at different schools in my hometown. I chose to send it to them because they are part of my target audience and I wanted to highlight the main points of my research and findings, while still giving my target audience a reason to read the full report.

Unit 2 Library

As a kid, I went to the local library pretty regularly and actually looked forward to my visits. There was a floor exclusively for kids and on top of shelves of kid’s books there was also a reading area with comfy chairs, toys and giant stuffed animals. My parents definitely contributed to the amount that I went to the library because it was probably a pretty easy way to keep me entertained while I did something that was good.             Once I was a bit older, I stopped going to the library for fun altogether and really only visited when I needed to for school. Since I went to a small Montessori school, we didn’t have a library on campus so any time we needed to check out a book or do research, our teachers would help us navigate the library catalogue and get the books or resources that we needed.             In high school, the library was the location of my mandatory te...
