In my essay, The Links Between Pollutants and Global Warming, we were assigned to
write a 7-8 page length essay. While writing this essay, I had to follow strict formatting
guidelines, which included using an MLA format. The MLA format includes citing sources, a
work cited page, times new roman font size 12, and a header page. Additionally, I followed
formal language such punctuation, syntax, grammar, and no contractions. In the process of my
research, I included rhetorical devices such as pathos, ethos, and logos to give my audience
emotions of the effect of air pollution and global warming. Due to the academic in nature of
design, I was limited in expressing more to my audience. In this text to web essay, I also had to
research to give my audience credible knowledge about pollutants and global warming. I used
India and China as my two prime examples. I included a work cited page in order to provide a
because without credible information, people will easily be misguided and miseducated. This
essay has helped me develop a better understanding about the process of pollution and the
As we began the text to web assignment, I was very confused and lost regarding the set
up for a website. However, as we continued to progress further into the assignment, I was able to
grasp a better understanding of what was being asked. It also helped me find creativity in my
writing because I did not have to commit to a certain style of writing or format. I was able to

freely express myself to the audience the crisis of global warming through pictures and short
summaries. This is a convenient way for the readers to learn because it removes lengthy
paragraphs and is straight to the point. Dr. Khadka and our SI Nicole Bailan were very helpful
and supportive throughout the course. I was able to confidently ask them for assistance and I
received well built feedback. This allowed me to focus on the most important parts of this
assignment.
Nicole Bailan was very helpful in assisting me with the editing portion of my website.
She explained in detail what was needed and what was not. She also gave me well built feedback
that allowed me to learn rather than be told. In my second website, I was able to incorporate all
her feedback and make my website site look and feel more serious. This helped my website by
Overall, the goals of my assignments was to educate people regarding the crises of
pollution and the actions we must take in order to reduce any more damage caused. The topic at
hand is important in discussion because it is an urgent matter that needs resolution and as much
exposure as possible. The strongest points of both my essay and my text to web is the sources I
used. The sources I used were credible and I was able to get my point across without much
difficulty. The weakest point of my essay and text to web is being able to keep on topic without
drifting into subtopics. Writing has always been a bit difficult for me because there is so much
information to talk about that sometimes I tend to get carried away and shift off topic.
Additionally, I struggle with keeping my writing coherent at times. This is a result of too much
information without being able to connect each one to each other. These assignments have
helped me grow and understand the importance of being able to make sense of the information to

my reader. I have also been able to improve on getting my point across because sometimes I over
explain and end up getting off topic or not making the connection needed.
For future assignments, I would like to include more counter arguments as part of my
essay. This will allow my thesis to be more credible to the reader rather than just giving large
amounts of information. Furthermore, using counter arguments allow for more creative writing
to bend and twist the argument into the writers favor. Aside from counterarguments, I would like
to focus on being able to get my point across as smooth and clear as possible. With my essay and
text to web, I was able to make my point obvious, but I had difficulty with being able to
transition into the next point and ultimately wrap it all together. Most importantly, I will use my
time as wisely as possible. For both my essay and my text to web, I was able to utilize my time
efficiently which helped me a lot. Using my time wisely has helped me in the past and I will
definitely continue doing so. Additionally, I was able to utilize the resources I have so that I was
able to submit an essay and text to web that had been revised over and over again. These
