Project #1: I Need to Make the Right Decisions (Education Narrative)

https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/arch-eng-fylc-f20/2020/10/04/i-need-to-make-the-right-decisions-kevin-giron-final-narrative

This project was pretty interesting since I opened up about how the end of 2019 and start of 2020 affected me in sort of a negative way. I touched upon how bad decisions I made lead to stress, and why making the right decisions can save you a lot of stress. When I revised my drafts, I actually split it up into different paragraphs as before it was one long paragraph. I also fixed a few grammatical errors. Professor Rosen mentioned that I left my conclusion open ended, and if I were to further revise it I would touch more upon the conclusion of my semester.

Project #2: Kevin Giron Project #2 Reflective Annotated Bibliography

Writing annotated bibliographies was definitely interesting as it was my first time. At first it was challenging but I soon got the hang of it. If I were to revise this project I would focus more on one of the factors for reflection, nature or comfort as Professor Rosen suggested. I would also focus more on who my audience is and and the most effective genres.

Project #3: Kevin Giron Writing in a New Genre

https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/arch-eng-fylc-f20/2020/12/11/kevin-giron-final-project-3-writing-in-a-new-genre/

Due to the lack of time in this semester we weren’t able to go with the original plan for project 3. However we were able to explain how we would have executed our plan to inform an audience on what we learned. We explained what genre we thought would be most effective. If I were to revise this project, I would once again choose to focus either on comfort or nature when expressing this information to an audience. Also, I would consider the different audiences this information can also apply to.
