I thoroughly enjoyed working on every one of our projects; none of them were boring and it was fun to figure out what I wanted to do for each project. I did, however, like the literacy paper more because it dealt with our life and something that interested us about our self. Before, I was not comfortable about writing about my self and how I was good at something because I never knew how to approach it, but now I do. I liked how if we need help with our ideas were taught ways to deconstruct and rework our topics until they made more sense. In class, we did an activity where we would scrap parts of our essay and told to rewrite it again. Or, we had to create an infomercial type script that highlighted the best parts of our paper as a way to "sell" our idea. All of these activities helped me re think the ways you can revise your own paper to make it better. The paper that I would most likely revise the most, if I had the time, would be my inquiry project. I felt that my ideas did not flow as well as I would have liked them too. I was too focused on getting the right information down of paper that I did not have enough time to make it well organized.
Before entering this class, I was never strong at brain storming, I did not know the best way to plan a paper. In class, we worked a lot on making connections between the sources you thought about using, and finding the strongest or most talked about ideas between them; this was called a concept map. I found concept maps very useful during the planning stages of a paper because it also makes you think about the sources you use and whether or not they will be beneficial to use or not.
