About Me And My Portfolio
My name is Andrew Rodes, I am a first year student at Blue Ridge Community College. One of the classes I took this 2014 fall semester is ENG 111 college composition 1.
For this course our textbook was the Norton Field Guide to Reading with Writings. We also watched a few videos entitled The Codes of Gender, Tough Guise 2 and Killing us Softly 4.Our first assignment was to create a Literacy Narrative. From there we were given a two part Text Analysis. The biggest assignment we were given in this class was to write a Research Text Analysis. Once these three assignments were completed they were compiled onto this website.

The First assignment I did was a Literacy Narrative,the point of the assignment was to get me to look back and reflect on my reading and writing experiences, and also to get me to share them. With a broader audience.
The next assignment was two separate Text Analysis regarding the same advertisement. The purpose for this paper was to begin to develop my analytical capabilities and critical thinking, also to learn how to express that in the written format. The second analysis focused on all the same points but works to further my capabilities and to include additional information and terminology.
The last page on this website is titled Research Text Analysis.The purpose of this last assignment was to get me familiar with research projects.Also to get me to work on a larger range of advertisements that focused on gender ruler in society,and how gender reflects upon the way we respond to advertisements.

This class has bein benificial in honing my abilities to analyze topics and to think critically upon topics.Preparing these assignments on a web site was a challenge but it was interesting, and I learned some interesting things, that I never thought would be learned in an english class.
