Thlog #5

            To be honest, I was a little out of it this week during sections. I had some personal home issues going on so my mind was wandering, but I did my best to pay as close attention as possible. Something that stuck with me this week was the lesson about moves. The most common term I hear my friends say is “We gotta make moves!” I think of this phrase often and it always makes me think of motivating to take action in some way. The lesson about Moves made me think a little differently. Moves makes me now think of something that is individual to someone. An action that someone takes that is individual to that person. Learning about how this could apply to different types of writing really helped me prepare my PB2B.

            Another topic from this week that I really enjoyed was our lesson on concepts. I enjoy critical thinking and taking a topic and applying it to two different subject fields really made me think differently about the topic. I like being able to take one topic and analyze it from different perspectives, I think that this skill is important to have as a student for research and for writing. Something else that I appreciated during this lesson was that the concept of choosing something that you are interested in to write about was really stressed. I have found over the years that my best pieces were written on topics that I was genuinely interested in researching. I think I lost my love for writing toward the end of high school because I was being told to write essays about books that I did not enjoy so I was really excited for PB2B to be able to research a topic that I was interested in. I am looking forward to seeing how all of these projects help in the progression to WP2!
