The five
major concepts of this course are the analyzing texts, producing texts,
designing texts, assessing texts, and editing texts. Project one was a concept
trace. The purpose of that project was to apply our knowledge of a term to
three different texts of our choosing. In doing so we used out knowledge to
analyze and assess texts. By learning how to do this we were then set up for
project two which was about using our assessment and analysis to edit, design,
and produce our own texts. By the end of project two we have covered all of the
major concepts that of the course. Project three is an expansion of all of the
concepts we have learned thus far.
These five
main concepts are very important and are concepts as an English major that I
will continuously use throughout college and later on in life. These concepts
correlate with one another and play important roles in life in general. People
read everyday and it is important to analyze what we read. The readings in this
course have offered a new perspective on the role media has and how it spreads.
I had never put much thought into how different texts circulate and how some
forms of media are more effective in trying to circulate certain ideas. I was
also never really big with social media but this class has shown me that it
does have some benefits in terms of spreadability and circulation of an
exigence to a certain audience. Certain kinds of media are also directed at
particular audiences. It is interesting to see how media spreads.
Before this
course I had never really created my own texts with the purpose of seeing how
they would circulate. Editing, designing and producing my own texts based off
of my analysis and assessment of other texts was very interesting. It gave me a
new appreciation of texts themselves and how they circulate information in the
media. Throughout the course my favorite
terms have been circulation and audience. I enjoy seeing how certain texts
circulate to certain audiences based on what kind of text is used.
