Assignment 1 Overview and Questions?

Major Writing #1 is an interview and source report that will give a better understanding of the writing techniques and genres that are used in my intended major. My previous English class required us to write an argument paper and bibliography for our research paper. In previous English classes, our audience was the teacher; whereas, this assignment targets freshman going into the Health and Human Physiology major, for myself. This report is designed to better prepare my writing and communicating skills for my future in the Health and Human Physiology major and my career. Questions: - Can you use some of the sources from the interview as your written sources? - Do some majors only use specific genres? - With our written sources, do we have to find academic and non-academic genres?

Introduction and Methods

Introduction Physical activity and exercise are topics that everyone knows they should do, but many do not know how much to do that will be beneficial for them or they know but choose or have to be inactive. First, physical activity is different from exercise; physical activity is any movement an individual does, whereas, exercise is intentional or specific movements to increase fitness. According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, a government funding association, adult, children, and others with special care needs have different guidelines. Since we are focusing on first-year college students, the adult guidelines are to achieve 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity or an equivalent combination per week. These minutes need to come in ten-minute bouts or they do not count towards the goal. Also, two times per week, individuals should involve muscular strengthening involving all the major muscle groups.  Th...

Analysis of Sample Proposals

1. Extortion +introduced the topic well. +discusses the solution in detail. -gets a little confusing with the money cost. -targets students and their parents, some parents do not pay for their children's college. Off-campus purchases +introduce the problem well +have all three things needed (problem, solution, justification) -only focus on women, when they could bring men to the audience as well. -the university would be losing money out of this deal Nuclear Power +good evidence +addresses counter-arguements -brief introduction of the problem -costs 1. Nuclear Power 2. Extortion 3. Off-campus purchases
