Production Report 8a

The following is my first attempt to adapt a section of my outline into raw content. I must say, it is very crude but ready to be leaned up. Enjoy.

Outline Item: The following is an excerpt from my content outline on the first genre example from my field, the chemical education journal.


A.   Chemical Education Journal (example 1)

Genre: Chemical Education Journal

Genre example:
Mapping Students’ Modes of Reasoning When Thinking About Chemical Reactions Used to Make a Desired Product

(https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnx0YWxhbnF1ZXJjaGVtZWR8Z3g6N2Q0NDI3ODA4YjE0MDcxOA 

Rhetorical concept: Logical appeals - Tables 

Major piece of evidence: The "Main modes of reasoning expressed by study participants" and "Table 1" tables.

Summary of what the evidence proves: The author uses the The Table 1  to use analytical questioning when asking students about certain answers to particular chemical equations. The "Main modes of reasoning.." table is used to display percentages to the numerous responses the participants of their questionings were giving to the author.

Summary of why that’s important: For this genre, the display of tables and even stats as referenced in these tables are important because in science since in order for the audience to interpret the points the author is trying to make, they need to understand how, and what kinds of information was being recorded by the author from the students. That is, the chemical questions posed to the students as well to the responses these students were giving and the frequency they were being given at.

Adaptation of Outline Item: The following is an adaption of the outline item into QRG form.

Chem Education Journal

One of the genres used in chemistry is the chemistry educational journal. This journal is used to express data connecting to educational interests related to chemistry.

An example of this is from "Mapping Students’ Modes of Reasoning When Thinking About

Chemical Reactions Used to Make a Desired Product" by  M. L. Weinrich and V. Talanquer.

The journal uses tables as a mode of logical appeal to convey to the audience that what they are presenting is factual.

 The "Main modes of reasoning expressed by study participants" and "Table 1" tables. The author uses the The Table 1  to use analytical questioning when asking students about certain answers to particular chemical equations. The "Main modes of reasoning.." table is used to display percentages to the numerous responses the participants of their questionings were giving to the author.

For this genre, the display of tables and even stats as referenced in these tables are important because in science since in order for the audience to interpret the points the author is trying to make, they need to understand how, and what kinds of information was being recorded by the author from the students. That is, the chemical questions posed to the students as well to the responses these students were giving and the frequency they were being given at.

Audience Questions

1)How did you decide to use form to present your content in the raw material you’ve shared here?

How did the conventions of your chosen genre influence your choices?

I tried to use brief and short paragraphs with a decent amount of spacing to help the viewer get a feel of this as something that could come out in a QRG.

The QRG consists of short paragraphs that are concise and well spaced out. Therefore, this is what I attempted to emulate in the following adaption that I just created.

2)How did the production of this raw material go? What kinds of any hiccups, challenges, successes, creative epiphanies, etc. occurred during the process?

It went okay. There a few bumps ideally about how to space the content out to make it look pleasing to the eyes. Apart from that, the process was pretty straightforward.
