Core Value I. My work demonstrates that I used a variety of social and interactive practices that involve recursive stages of exploration, discovery, conceptualization, and development.

Regarding this value I would claim that I showed development, but I still have room for improvement. In the beginning my work went through the process and stages such as continuing to rewrite my work in order to improve it. The process began with rereading my work and analyzing it searching for what my work was missing or what I needed to replace/add to my work. After I went through and reviewed what changes needed to be made, I would go through my work making the proper changes to ensure my work had improved. In my Stone Money Rewrite I displayed improvement of this value by making variations improvements to my work.

Core Value II. My work demonstrates that I placed texts into conversation with one another to create meaning by synthesizing ideas from various discourse communities. 

For this value , I would say that I have demonstrated it with my Definition Rewrite with providing a numerous amount of text and giving it great meaning. I gave my Definition Rewrite a lot of rewriting because I thoroughly went through the text making sure to truly capture the text from the meaning. However I did miss one part of the core value which was to placed texts into a conversation with each other but based on the other strengths I have displayed with this value, I could improve on that part of the value.

Core Value III. My work demonstrates that I rhetorically analyzed the purpose, audience, and contexts of my own writing and other texts and visual arguments.

In terms of this value I demonstrated it with my Rebuttal Rewrite, however I believe I didn’t fully achieve the core value. I believe my Rebuttal Rewrite could’ve had more revisions, replaced some content, added some more information and take out some words in order to fully achieve this goal. My Rebuttal Rewrite did display enough to show that I was able to demonstrate this goal by capturing the audience of those who opposed my thesis and gave a good amount of contexts that help shape my writing.

Core Value IV: My work demonstrates that I have met the expectations of academic writing by locating, evaluating, and incorporating illustrations and evidence to support my own ideas and interpretations.

When taking a look at my work and I would make the claim that I have demonstrated this value. My Definition and Rebuttal Rewrites have proven that I have achieved this value. Both are good examples of this value because of how each display my own idea and structure that I intended for the work while still incorporating solid evidence from a good amount of sources.

Core Value V. My work demonstrates that I respect my ethical responsibility to represent complex ideas fairly and to the sources of my information with appropriate citation. 

When it comes to this value, my  Definition Rewrite provides a great example of my ability to capture the core value, however I didn’t fulfill the core value. I thoroughly achieve parts of the value reaching most of the dimensions of writing providing a good amount of evidence from revealing how my Definition Rewrite, displayed good grammar structure, portrayed my information to support my thesis and I was able to display meaning to the context of my work.
