Decision Making and Production
​Students will be able to produce writing that demonstrates their ability to navigate choices and constraints when writing for specific audiences, genres, and purposes.
Reflection
Within the assignment, critical thinking response: working with genres I was able to take a poem and turn it into a different kind of genre. I chose to change the poem into a text message.
​
Turning this poem into a text message allowed me to take a different approach to deliver the same message. I would have to carefully decide my word choice to match the genre of a text message instead of a poem. If the decision to format the same theme of poem into a text message was not done correctly, then the production of the genre change would be ineffective.
​
A poem follows a more artistic form and is intended for a broader audience as compared to a text message which is often informal and an easy way to communicate amongst a limited number of individuals. The difference between these two genres is distinct and making the decision to accurately produce each genre is important to the overall understanding of the audience. This idea is the same for any genre that contains a specific message for a specific audience.
​
This assignment was a great way to pave the way for future major assignments like the challenging constructs genre remix. By first completing this critical thinking response I knew the proper choices that would need to be made in order for the audience to understand the genre I was writing in and evaluate the message I was trying to produce.
