After my initial postings on my website, "Abolish The URI Dry Campus Plan," I began brainstorming ideas for my blog posts and discussion fourm. I had already decided that the purpose of my particular blog would be to persuade people to join my cause, rather then to explain or inform. So my blog posts are based more like arguments for the elimination of the dry campus policy. I wrote each blog with one main point regaurding my opinon on my cause. I also used the sources I had already found on my subject to gather facts that supported my point of view. Although my blog posts are more argumentative and persuasive, I still tried to write in a tone that woudl spark passion and possibly action in my readers.
One theme that is consistent throughout everything I wrote for my website is the fact that the only way we will see any sort of change is if we, as a student body, unite, make our opinions heard, and take action.
Throughout the writing process for this project I realized the significane of the way in which my voice came through my writing. Taking this course has taught me a lot about technology-based writing, and during this proejct I really got to apply the techiniques I have picked up during this class. This project really made me concentrate on writing in a way that would not only catch someones eye, but I was forced to try to write in a way that would actually ignite action, which was a lot tougher than I thought it woule be. I went through many revisions of my posts before I felt that they portrayed the right amount of passion to reach my readers.
