Blog #2 My Writing Process - Richard Flores ENG 120

 For my own writing process, I like to start by combining brainstorming and organizing together. As I write the outline I just read over the prompt and reflect on things to put down in the essay. And I use an outline I was taught in the 4th grade. With an introduction on top of the paper, I use three boxes in the middle as a place for the topic sentence or just topics for the start of the paragraphs and then I draw four lines under the boxes for the sentences of the paragraph but I just use short phrases or ideas for them. Also last but not least I add the conclusion at the bottom of the page.  I find myself spending forty percent of my time on the outline and sixty or longer just putting the paper together. 

     The things I'd like to change in my process are the time I spend on my pre-write and organizing just because I usually find myself doing all the work as I’m writing the draft. Most of the time that’s when I get stuck with writer’s block and know of nothing to write down. Also, spending more of my time on the pre-write will help me have more developed ideas rather than unclear ones. A weakness of mine with writing is laziness so with papers I'd just want to start them up rather than planning them out. To be honest I don’t know what’s really effective for me just because I’ve used this same writing process for so long it’s just a habit to do that I haven’t been able to break.

Blog post #3 Review of Tom's Burger Blog - Richard Flores ENG 120

While searching for blogs to use I came across this one blog called Tom’s Burger Blog, a simple blogger who visits 2 or more burger joints a month and writes up a review on their best burger on the menu. All burger joints are based in California and some surrounding areas on the west coast. His reviews start with usually two to three paragraphs stating how he heard or found the joint. The style of writing is mostly laid back type as well as informative as he adds good information. Also states the facts or history of the burger or the restaurant he is visiting. And some of the burger joints he visits he describes the wait time and how many people were already waiting in the restaurant's line as some are only pop-up sells or really popular in the area. He also adds pictures of the burger as that's when he starts his own metric burger grading system.      For his system in grading the burger, I'm most impressed with it as he breaks down the whole burger. He uses ...

Blog post #2 Richard Flores The concepts of education ENG 121

     With Freire's argument I agree with his education views as he sees education as a practice of freedom and should be welcomed by all. The ‘banking' concept of education can be useful though only in the right teachings. As I feel if the information is too complicated and tactical where it's best for the students to better understand the information my just sitting and taking it all in would be best for them to actually get the information being given to them then that's where I would see that is okay to use the banking concepts of education. But like for examples where there is places where they have strict hold on education and everything surrounding it is so important to the cultures there is no one to tell them it is bad to use the banking concept of education  causes to their culture it is the higher up know everything regardless if they do or not they are healed themselves up to that standards so everyone under them sees that and just auto mactilly ...

Blog post #4- Research Project ENG 121 Richard Flores

   The few things that pop up in my head when thinking of a research project and what my topic on the paper will be are two main ideas. My interest and what I already know but want to learn more about. And I also think of what idea will be best for me and for the outcome of my paper.  In general, I could talk about football and everything that involves the sport and what makes the sport as great as it is. But then I start to think of topics I’m interested in like stuff back home like breakfast tacos or H-E-B and everything in between. But with football, I think it is gonna be my best bet as I have options and can get others’ opinions on a topic of football I choose to work on for the project. As with football can talk about the evolution of football from rules, technology, the field, and even how the game can be played to even the change of physical features of the  players. As just in the last 10 years the NFL and other football organizations have revolutionize...
