Sound Writing Process Notes
- Where are you in your sound writing process?
- What’s been done and what’s still left to do?
I am most completed with my sound writing process, I am making minor tweaks in places where they are necessary and clarifying when necessary as well. I have my information about my topics down. I just want to organize and clarify my points more.
- What are your biggest accomplishments and failures so far?
- How do you feel about that?
My biggest accomplishment is my articulation, I am proud of the speech I have made. It flows and is charismatic while delivers information effectively. My biggest failure so far is timing and planning and organization.
- What have you learned so far?
So far I have learned about the connections between art and poetry that continue to be prevalent in our society today.
- What ideas did you grapple with?
- Which problems have you solved, and which are you continuing to grapple with?
- How might you over come the challenges and struggles?
I grappled with the ideas on comparison and criticism of art and poetry. I over came that challenge by analyzing and understanding the comparisons.
- What decisions have emerged lately as you plan and work on your project?
The decisions I make lately are about what to prioritize and choose to focus on in my work; the wording or content.
- What is the next step in your composing process?
- What do you need to do, know, and write?
My next step in composition is to keep adding to my work and then record my project.
- Walk through the four elements of the rhetorical situation:
- How are you feeling about your progress toward achieving your purpose?
- How are you feeling about your progress toward affecting your audience?
- How are you feeling about your progress toward situating your work in time and place of your context?
- How are you feeling about your progress toward following the expectations of your genre?
I am feeling semi-confident about my progress, because I want to do better, but am unsure what can be better. I am worried that while my script is charismatic, I will sound robotic and stiff. Which is not good to hear in a recording. I feel like my timing is fine, as are my expectations. I just need to keep working the way I do and be happy with the result.
