Weekly Write #1

During this group session, I reconsidered the approaches I used to complete part one. I was confused about the due date, and thought part one had to be done by today. So, after everyone had shared their methods, I shared the methods that I used to finalize my thesis and synthesize the sources. The approaches that my classmates proposed included, but were not limited to, highlighting important or interesting passages, color coding, and annotating. I took these into consideration. The one that I considered incorporating the most was the color coding method, because I tend to memorize things easier when good grouping measures are used. Color coding effectively and easily groups ideas. The methods I proposed included: finding a recurring theme or idea between both articles, identifying the uses of logos, pathos, and ethos, and comparing the proposed solutions in both articles. Additionally, I feel the ice breaker questions were a very good idea, although one that we did not have time to implement amidst the confusion of what to do. However, overall, I feel that today ‘s zoom was pretty affective in getting a general and specific idea of how to complete part one of the assigned project proposal.
