Unit 4 Reflection- Op-Ed blog post 11/16
This unit was a little bit complicated because I am still trying to get used to blog spaces even though it is November, but it was really neat being able to write like this. I really enjoyed this unit because it was so different. Although it was challenging at first, I got pretty good at formatting and other things on the blog space. Writing for a different audience was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be because I already had original ideas in my head from writing my argumentative paper. It was difficult not to repeat myself from my paper and to make it more opinionated. I am not used to writing opinionated articles, but I actually enjoyed it. I am also proud of myself because I got my formatting and pictures to look exactly like I wanted them to and it was a lot simpler than I had expected.
Unit 3 Reflection 11/4/16
Writing this paper has helped me realize that I honestly am a good writer and I have grown tremendously in my ability to research. The library website has also helped me so much with finding specific things. I have also gotten a lot better at citing sources and giving credibility and ethos to authors. Seeing my progress as a writer has helped me by encouraging me by seeing how far I have come already. My counterclaim argument have me a few challenges here and there, but I am happy with how it turned out and what I ended up writing about. I had challenges with finding a topic that I wanted to write about and that I could write a lot about. I ended up changing from my original topic because it was not specific enough, but I am happy with what I ended up writing about. Writing is definitely a process and I have learned that more and more as I struggle with patience and time management. I really liked when we did the memes about our papers also because it helped me realize that I was not the only person struggling.
