SCI-TECH BLOG: ANALYTIC REFLECTION
While writing this Sci-Tech Blog, I developed many emotions. It was a way of expanding my mind to look at a text differently, and then write a response to the reading in a method that I never have before. I found it difficult to change my style of writing and comprehension of a piece of work.
While writing this Sci-Tech Blog, I developed many emotions. It was a way of expanding my mind to look at a text differently, and then write a response to the reading in a method that I never have before. I found it difficult to change my style of writing and comprehension of a piece of work.
I wrote my Sci-Tech Blog on the White Paper about New
Ruralism written in 2009 by Emily Stratton. Since this is a topic I don’t have
much prior knowledge of made it a little more difficult to grasp it fully at
first. After reading, I decided to pull a main focus on New Ruralism and the
effects of suburban sprawl. By pulling out this point in the text, it made it
much simpler to draw a thesis on what the whole New Ruralism thing is about. A white paper is that they want something to
happen, a change to occur and it acts as a proposal of a sort that provides
evidence to add credibility.
While writing my piece I reflected back onto the articles we
read in class and the discussions we had particularly about stases and
intertext. In terms of stases I believe
that it falls into the category of lower stases because it would be a community
that exists as itself. It would be in its own little world. It also gives
factual examples making it fact based, and more scientific. The relationship
with audience is one of those things that if someone knows a lot about New
Ruralism already, then my piece wouldn’t be too intriguing, but if you are
someone who has no clue about what New Ruralism is and what it is trying to do,
like I was, then my blog would lead into some real insight as to what is going
on. It also gives the “warm issues and cold facts” of what causes the need of
this kind of community, which would be the effects of suburban sprawl, or just
sprawl in general.
Intertext plays a role in my piece as well. In the main
article that I have chosen, the entire thing has been built up on evidence they
have learned from other pieces. There are a lot of notes at the bottom of the piece
so that if there was something that wasn’t easily understood to a New Ruralist newcomer,
there was easily explained, so that time wasn’t wasted on extra research.
The overall conclusion of New Ruralism that I obtained was
that to prevent and decrease suburban sprawl, then actions need to put into
place and New Ruralist communities need to exist. After writing this paper, I think
I have a better grasp on the concepts of a Sci-Tech Blog.
