Thlog #3
So in this tholg i want to talk about my feelings about WP2 and how the past two classes have helped me see it a little bit easier. So before we were handed the papers that had what we were supposed to do for PB2A, PB2B, and WP2 i was a little on edge with the thought of having to do more wringing. Our first WP wasn't the easiest for me, especially because writing is not my strong point. When i looked at the paper and read what we needed to do i was kind of confused as to what moves were for PB2A, but when it was explained to us a little bit better i finally got it. I had so many questions going through my head while writing it like: How will i know if it's a move? Am i actually doing this PB correctly? Is this a good enough article to pick for this type of thing? The "They say I say" packet actually helped a lot, it helped me identify the moves that the author of the article i chose. Some of the moves in the packet really matched the moves in the article and others didn't. PB2B was a little bit easier only because it was something a little more interesting for me to write about, i don't know why i never chose any thing i'm going to be crazy about doing work on, The conversation and examples that were given in class helped me think about this PB easier, like the example given about who would be the "players" and/or how would they be effected and the things that were name in the list on the screen. It helped me think about my article Called the UGGly Truth and dig deeper into the issue. Now that I've done both of the PBs I read over what is to be done in WP2 and it doesn't seem as bad as i thought. It is hopefully going to be 10x easier for me than the first one on genres, because that didn't go well at all, the only thing i think i will struggle with is finding the right article for me and the people who wrote it. I hope that when i'm finished with my WP2 it is a good paper and that I've gotten the point of moved and how to spot them in someones writing or even my writing.

PB2B
The topic that I will be writing about in PB2B is uggs animal cruelty. The article that i will be referencing is is called "The Uggly Truth" on snopes.com by David Mikkelson. This article is about the truth behind what the popular Ugg boots are made of and how people have felt after knowing what has happened to the poor sheep just to get those "stylish" boots. Mikkelson gives information in the article stating that "Ugg boots are typically made from sheepskin with attached fleece, a raw material derived from sheep that have been killed and skinned rather than simply sheared of their coats." With that being said there are many "players" involved in this issue, one of the most obvious ones is the company that manufacture the boots. The Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), the sheep that are killed for the boots, and the customer are also all involved in this issue.
In this issue this company that manufactures the boots is involved because they could loose a lot of money if some of their customers are very against animal cruelty. That means that if some of their customers are against how the boots are made they could protest against the boots by not buying them and probably convince others they know into not buying the boots. If more and more of their customers stop buying their boot then they start loosing money and their business will go down hill from there. Seeing as my mother has been against animal cruelty my entire life and has been donating money to PETA for years now we do not buy anything including uggs that have real fur or animal skin.
The Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is involved in this issue because it is an organization that helps hurt or abandoned animals and takes them in. You can go in and adopt one of the many animals in their facilities or you can donate to their organization. In 2008 they put together a protest with PETA to speak out about animals being killed as part of the fashion fur industry, the article states that the protest was "focused on ugg boots, which are made of sheepskin". David also includes that during the protest "Defying February's climatic dictates, students lay in the newly fallen snow on the Frist Campus Center's North Front Lawn, feigning death, wearing coats covered with fake blood and sporting signs that read, "What if you were killed for your coat?" "
Finally the poor poor sheep who loose not only their fur and their skin, but their lives for "fashionable" boots that us humans wear to keep warm. We were the boots made of the sheep fur to keep warm, but what isn't realized is that the sheep have their fur too keep them warm in the winter. It says in the article that on the Ugg website there is a "animal rights" subsection that says that "the company does not use material obtained from sheep that have been "mulesed" ", but how does that make it any better? I mean doesn' that still hurt the animal?

PB2A
I choose a text written by a teacher and it's called "Great Teachers Don't Teach" By Ben Johnson
One move i believe the author made is called the "Introducing An Ongoing Debate" from "They say I say". I believe that is one of the moves that he made because the very first sentence of the article is "In a conversation Linkedin...." and in They say I say, it says that the move starts with "In discussions of x,.....". In my opinion they are both kind of similar, i may be wrong, but that's a move i see.
A second move I believe the is one that i found on my own is at least twice the author talks about his "amazing psychology professor". So he's basically trying to or is comparing teachers now to his teacher back then and how they're ways of teaching are similar. If i had to name this move I would probably name it The Flashback or Throwback just because he is throwing it back to when he was still in school.
The third move that I found that the author made was from "They say I say" and its called "Agreeing - with disagreeing". I think that's a move that the author makes because he say " My experience is that good teachers......" and in They say I say it says " I agree that _ because my experience.....". He is going on about his experience with good teachers and what good teachers expect.
A fourth move i found that Johnson made was when he basically defined the word "teacher". For that move the name i would give it is the "Definition work in". That't the name i would give it because he worked in a definition to give the readers of his text a better understanding.
The fifth move I found in the text is from They say I say and it is "Adding Metacommentray". This is one of his moves because all though he uses "Returning to my original premise" and in the handout on page 694 all of the example seem like they would fit in the same category as that transition (if that's even what it's considered)
The last move he made is another one that i'm naming on my own and i would call it the reference. I'd call it the reference because the last section of his article is all him referencing his book "Teaching Students To Dig Deeper: The common Core in Action".
