Another week has come and gone! How is it already the end of week 6? After turning in PB2 last Monday, I felt as if we were given somewhat of a break from writing before having to gear up for WP2. Even though nothing was due, class was still jam packed! This week’s writing and processing tips were great. I have always written notes to myself when working on a paper, but seeing how Zack writes his notes gave me some new ideas that I'm eager to try for WP2. Also, I can now say I know how to use brackets. I honestly never knew what they were for and always found them to be a mystery. Now, I can hopefully start to incorporate them into my own writing.
Learning about parallelism was also really cool. I feel like this writing technique isn't used all that often, but can be really effective. Parallelism was a great example of how writing isn't just about the content and structure of a text, but also how it sounds and fits together. Everything we learn seems to relate back to this idea— that writing is no longer solely about content, but rather how the content itself is written. With every concept we add on, we have more and more to consider when writing. It makes it kind of difficult because I feel like I need to incorporate everything into my paper. I’m slowly starting to realize that its not about cramming everything into one, but rather strategically choosing what tactics work best at the moment and then combining them.
As for WP2, I finally have my topic and my sources! I'm super excited to get going on it and test out some of the new techniques we've been practicing in class!
