Project #2: Reflection 2
When writing the second draft for project 2 we made a lot of changes in order to
meet the word count and fully explain the connections within the community. The first
thing we improved was the first section of the paper, which describes the community. We
added more details about the membership of the club, or what being a member would
entail in order to give the reader more background information on the club.
Understanding more about the members of a community helps in understanding the
community itself. We incorporated a lot more sources into the second draft, but we still
need to add two more. The next thing we changed was the connection portion of the
paper. We tried to emphasize on what the genres conveyed about the community and how
the genres affected the members. We focused on how CHICS encourages social
interaction and connections along with organization and efficiency.
While creating this draft, we learned that it is easy to repeat ideas in a paper
multiple times if you arent consistently reviewing what you just wrote.
The feedback we received confirmed that our description of the community we
chose was explained well. The main criticism was that we needed to talk about more of
the communitys values and how the genres are used to share these values. We also need
to add to the ecology portion of the paper by going more in-depth with the connections.
The order in which we arranged the genres needs to be changed and explained so the
writing flows in a way that makes sense. We also received feedback on how our
paragraph on the genre of Facebook contained information that was either repetitive or

not need and so we need to look over that paragraph and make sure to take anything that
is repetitive or not necessary out.
