2/8 Annotation

Five topics I don’t know/find interesting in Young (2011). Toward a taxonomy of small genres.

9. Entries for technical concepts: so from the reading, I assume that this kind of writing is similar to “technical communication?” So it is used mostly in field in Mathematics, Physic, Chemistry and other science field?

12. In out basket: from the reading I assume that this kind of writing is mostly used in office task? Like film-making scheduling, witting email in work, and similar activities. These kind of writing is mostly functional. Logical, instead of being beautiful? I think this kind of writing would require an actual administrative environment in order to write "real."

19: Blind Faith activity: This activity is very hard that I think it is beyond how you write, but it is about how you think. I think writing in writing class should focus more on the writing part instead of the thinking part because the “thinking” part can be generated into a whole other class like Ethic, social study or Philosophy.

25. Picture without captions. This make me think of news worker who are desperately eager for their news to get attention so they make dramatic “breaking” titles for news.

22. Cause-effect assignments: I didn’t understand this assignment at all. Arrange what kind of cause?
