Factors in CHAT

Production: Tools and practies used to create the writing

I used online source and interview as tool in my writing and I also personal experience to fill in some of the gap that I could fill with my sources.

Representation: Ways people who produce a text conceptualize and plan it

I planned my article out by putting the most important information first, then adding extra information follow by a interview and some statistics. I did this so that the reader would not get bored of my article

Distribution: Things such as who a text is given to, for what purposes, using what distribution tools.

I this class my text is given to my classmates and teacher and the purposes of this is that my classmates will review my work and help me make the assignment better and my teacher will take my text to read for a grade.

Reception: How texts are taken up and used by other

Activity: Actual practices that people engage in as they create a text

Ecology: Environmental factors

Music, roommates those keep me focus because they were working on their homework and gaming inbetween writing to help me with my writer's block.

Socialization: The interaction of people and institutions with this piece of writing.

Half way Blog

In this English class I feel completely out of my zone because I'm use to a structure class were I know what the teacher is looking for. I know that there are good peer editor and bad peer editor because well to be honest I'm one those people who would be a bad peer editor. I don't know how to review other people writing because each time I give my assignment to someone to review, they would return mostly filled with comments about what I did wrong which makes myself feel bad when I'm reviewing someone else work because I feel like I don't have that proper writing experience like everyone else has. I'm hope at the end of this semester I can become a better peer editor, but until that days come I guess I need to work harder on my editing skill for myself and my peers
