Thlog

This week has been another rough one personally so I am very sorry that this is a day late! I really enjoyed this week of class, although it was short. I continue to be very excited about the level of engagement in this class and this week was no exception. I really enjoyed the peer editing process this week. Seeing other people's work, as well as getting constructive criticism on my own writing, really helps me improve as a writer. In high school I was surrounded by writing and really enjoyed this process, so I am super excited about getting to be editing again. In these peer edits I really liked how we had to comment with questions only. I think that this strategy can really help people improve their writing because they are forced to think deeper about the topic. I have never used this strategy before but I think that it will be very beneficial as I go back and do my drafts again. WP2 has been more tricky for me then I once expected. Although we were warned that this was going to be the most difficult of the three, I again was confused on the structure and content that would be best included for the drafts. I think after time I was able to create a structure that I felt comfortable with, but I was unsure of how to incorporate the moves, mainly. Also, figuring out how to get course readings in the paper was difficult with the amount of readings that were available, but I liked the challenge and will continue to work on the incorporation. I tried my best to do the reverse outlining and really incorporate all of the tips that we have learned throughout the weeks. I think that I am really improving as a writer and I am excited to see how my draft finalizes.
