In this blog post I am going to explain the topic for my research paper which is going to be co-authored with Alaina Kimmel. We will be describing the genre, medium, citation style, ect. This post will give you insight on what our project will mainly be about. For our argument, Alaina and I decided to focus on the question “How does social media animate toxic behaviors in teenage girls”. Our main resource is going to be from the film “Miss Representation”. We chose to write this project in MLA research paper format and in a google document that is shared between us. Our primary audience is going to be targeted at teenage girls and we are going to focus on both personal experiences and global. We hope to give people a good understanding of what is really going under right under your nose in American Media. We believe that it is not fair for all of these people to go throughout life not knowing what is going on around them. In our writing we utilized everything we went over in class. The notes taken about how to express our points clear, and direct to our audience as well as making it so our bias and objectives were clear. We tried to use all the precise steps it takes to create a convincing and moving research argument like ours. We believe that after our fellow classmates read our work they will have an even better understanding of what we learned in class and what they wrote in their own research papers. A huge step to helping us work on our paper was using Professor Mangini’s lessons in class as well as his metaphors. One that me and Alaina though was very important was “Buckshot”, meaning we had a bunch of ideas shot all over the paper. We used this as a guideline for what not to do, we knew that we had to organize our work in a clean and understandable manner. No one wants to read a paper with ideas scattered all over because it is very hard to understand. Our topic was very serious with an important point we wanted to get across so we knew organization was key. Especially with two authors you have to make sure you are both on the same page without tangling up your ideas. It is vital for a co-authored paper that the audience understands you both are giving your opinion on the matter as well as fusing ideas together to get the entire point across.

This post provides a clear re-purposing of the assignment sheet activity we completed in class. That can be helpful to you and your audience. How might this post benefit from more insights into the argument, development of initial ideas, and links to the assignment sheet and possible sources?

I think you did a solid job with explaining the basis of your paper and how you will attack composing this. I do agree with Sabatino though, I think it would help if you provided more insight as to what ideas you may include in your project for us as prospective readers.
