Week 8 Thlog

I really liked this week and the work I did. To start, getting feedback on the rough draft of my WP3 was very helpful. I was able to take the advice fro my peer readers and incorporate it in my work which helped me out a lot. In my WP2, I got a lower score then I would have liked to so that was definitely a wake-up call. Many of the comments on my final, graded paper were about lacking specifics and direct evidence. I felt like this was the hardest and most boring writing project that we had, and I feel like my grade reflected that as well. However, it was a learning experience so I picked my head up and learned from it. Unlike the WP2, the WP3 involved a lot more creativity which I enjoyed. I was able to make the corrections to the content and style of writing that were necessary, and as a result I feel like I did much better on this one than the last. I used direct evidence from both of my translated genres that proved my main points, and I was also able to reference the course readings for additional support and credibility. All in all, I was pretty happy with the final result of my WP3. It's hard to believe that the quarter is coming to an end too! I really enjoy this class and appreciate what I'm going to take away from it, so it's kind of a bummer, but also a feeling of accomplishment. The only work that's left now is the final portfolio, so I'll have to grind that out over the next few weeks. Yes, it will be a lot of work and probably make me very tired, but it's the final stretch so it will get done. All is well in the world of writing 2!
