Chapter seventeen in Palmquist’s “Joining the Conversation” talks about using sources effectively. This is important to know how to do in Writing Project Two because without knowing how to do this, a well-rounded and convincing evaluation cannot be accomplished. According to Palmquist, “Your sources can help you introduce ideas, contrast the ideas of other authors with your own, provide evidence for your points, define concepts, illustrate processes, clarify statements, set a mood, provide examples, and qualify or amplify a point.” In writing project two, one could choose to do anything listed above with their sources to make the paper more effective and intriguing. Chapter seventeen also covers summarizing sources and different ways to present information. Summarizing is important, as the annotations in Writing Project Two are short. Presentation is also important as each description is meant to be compelling. Using images increases the effectiveness of the entire work according to Palmquist. It is, though, important to cite the source in which pictures comes from. Photographs can be a form of plagiarism. It is important to not only cite sources and pictures, but they must be distinguished. According to Palmquist, “failing to distinguish between your ideas and ideas drawn from your sources can lead reader to think other writers’ ideas are yours.” Clarity is very important. In chapter eighteen of “Joining the Conversation”, Palmquist talks about designing documents. He says that it is important to understand design principles. Design principles include balance, emphasis, placement, repetition, and consistency. All of these should be considered when writing and reviewing Writing Project Two. He covers the fact that you must design for a purpose. It is stated that “A well-designed document presents your information, ideas, and arguments in a manner that helps accomplish your purposes.” This is very important to consider in Writing Project Two in order to earn a great grade. Palmquist continues to talk about design for your readers. He says, “A well-designed document helps readers understand its organization, locate information and ideas, and recognize the function of its different parts.” Different design elements that can be used include font, line spacing, and alignment. Making the write choice will make a document much more easy to read. The easier the document is to read, the better the final outcome. It is also important to understand that the way a paper should be designed will differ depending on it’s purpose. Palmquist states that “Understanding the design conventions of the type of document you plan to write will help you create a document that meets your readers’ expectations.” In Writing Project Two, the readers expectation is to read a review based on well-defined criteria.
