I think I struggled with meeting the word length requirements because I didn’t want to go off topic and repeat myself over and over. I also think I struggled with keeping my thesis true because I kept making it contradicting when adding things that did’t make my thesis true and that didn’t support what I said. It kind of came easily but meeting the word requirement, trying to not go off topic, or keeping the whole article in order and about my thesis was hard. If I had more time, I honestly don’t think that would help because the assignment was already extended but that did help a lot. I have never did a project like this before, only essays when I was in high school.
I learned from this op-ed project to stay on topic and not to add anything that will make the thesis not true and will make the whole assignment wrong. The kind of commitment I made to this project was a little time but a lot of effort. Writing isn’t my best subject so I don’t really do well in it so since I know that I don’t make as much time as it needs. The part of class that helped me was the peer review and working on it in class. When we did the peer review, I got to see how my classmate did theirs and they left comments on what is wrong and needs to be fixed. The time in class helped me because I could ask questions if I needed help and it allowed me to get started on my final draft. The out of class experience that helped me was emailing the teacher when I had questions or was confused about the assignment. I would define the Multimodal Project as different and challenging because it is based off of the argument essay but it is different from it. I thought about the outcomes because I’m sure this has made me a better writer.
I think I struggled with this because it ties in with the argument essay, and I struggled with that. This assignment was similar to this one because it had to be the same topic. I think if I had another topic then maybe I would’ve done better on this assignment. The peer review was really helpful for me as always. I have to work staying on topic and making a commitment/dedication to become a better writer.
