CCM's Reflection

After reviewing the video, I knew what to be on the look out for when reading the writers reflections from the the CCM's.  The "Facebook's fro Disney Princesses" author, does an excellent job of giving specific details of why how she went about making the Facebook pages for the Princesses. She talks about the set of up the pages and what she put on the pages which gives the reader a mental image. She talks about how she used the three appeals to get her point across. The author takes you through step by step what she did in creating the Facebook pages. As well as connecting and really toning on who she is speaking too. This is a very creative and interesting way to go about presenting an argument.

"Make Sure You Know"is an example of a very poor writers reflection. The author begins talking about why he created the website. Although he does give a few details and personal experiences connected to the military, there isn't much more. Theres no real though process how he went about creating the site. Yes he does tell us some information that is on the site but not much. He could have gone more in depth about the website given us more details about the page whats the layout, and links to other pages, what colors did he use to create the page with? I see no real use of any rhetorical stances taken in this reflection expect the exert about his friend which creates an emotional to the site.

  1. I agree with the first one. It was well written and explaining the appeals was very nice. From learning everything about writers reflections, the better it is the more detail it probably has. Since this one has a lot of detail and depth about decision making and making the pages it was good to read. The reader can take so much more from the details then just skimming the surface.

  2. I definitely agree that the "Make Sure You Know" reflection was not great, and needed more elaboration on the overall process and decisions the author made. This emphasizing the need for specific examples Mr. Cummings keeps mentioning.
