During Project 1 my mentality towards writing completely changed. I focused more on letting my thoughts flow rather than them being planned ahead. In addition I pay close attention to my grammar and punctuation making sure that it is accurate and lacking mistakes. When it comes to weaknesses my 5 paragraph essay method was totally debunked which resulted in me feeling lost and not knowing how to start preparing my paper. The most stressful part of Project 1 was questioning myself. I am usually a sure person when it comes to my writing but in this instance because I was trying a new writing method I was constantly doubting myself and my work. I overcame this by working hard and to the best of my ability, doing this gave a sense of peace knowing I did my best. I was successful in overcoming the stress but was still a little worried about my future grade. In addition I was stressed about not being able to communicate with and learn about different writing styles face to face in class with my teacher but I overcame this by using my writing resources. I will remember what I learned about the debunking of the 5 paragraph essay outline and how true writers let the information flow through them onto paper.
Thanks for this thoughtful reflection! Remember that being able to think critically about your own work is always important for writing and probably especially so when it comes to making arguments. I’m glad to hear that you have been able to access adequate resources online. Remember that you can also always email Mr. Dunkin or myself to set up a time for a Zoom meeting.
