Are you a Mac or PC?

Our group is working on a website that will help future and present college students, primarily at ball state, to decide between getting a Mac or a PC. We will be giving information on each, but not trying to one up each other in anyway. Just presenting the facts to help the student decide what he or she wants.
Our main purpose is to just help. We don't want to make it a competition on what brand is better. We will be loading facts, videos, and pictures to help the student get a better idea. So check it out when we are done and find out if you're a Mac or PC.

print, spoken, electronic

This week's reading was over chapters 47 through 59. The main points i got out of our readings were about print text, spoken text, and electronic text. These topics are perfect for what we are doing in class right now. We are working on a group project where my group is creating a website comparing Mac and PC computers. In this project will be using all of these topics.
Print text will be used for our group report where we must write a two page report about what we will be including in our project.
Spoken text will be used also because we are required to present our final project to the class.
Finally, we will be using electronic text by using a website to put together our project.
These topics are very important, but particularly in this project.

strategies

For this reading we read three chapters; analyzing causes and effects, classifying and dividing, and comparing and contrasting. All of these chapters deal with different ways of strategies for reading and writing. When reading these three chapters i was most interested in the comparing and contrasting because i believe it made the most sense to me.
I had no idea that there was two ways to comparing and contrasting so it was very interesting learning about those. The two different ways include; the block method where you discuss each item separately, or in blocks, and the point-by-point method where one is comparing and contrasting on specific points. You can even use graphs and images to present comparisons which can come in handy if you are demonstrating your comparison to a visual learner. There are a few other ways to demonstrate comparisons such as using figurative language and considering the rhetorical situation.
