Thlog Thursday, here we go. On Monday we turned in our WP2s! I actually thoroughly enjoyed writing this paper. And I think that shows in the fact that I turned it in a day early. Class this week was cool! I liked watching the different tree painting videos on Monday. I think it was a really great way to demonstrate how one subject (in this case a tree) can be approached in many different ways. While WP2 focused on how people of different backgrounds addressed the same subject, the videos showed how people with the same skills and general knowledge can end up with completely different products.
The mini lesson on foregrounding was really helpful to me. One comment I got multiple times regarding my WP2 was that my topic sentences were very broad and general. It wasn't until usually the second (but sometimes even later) sentence that I really got into what the paragraph was about. The main point of my paragraph should have been the focus and should have been foregrounded. Instead, it was pushed a little to the back and lost some of its impact and importance. I think to avoid this problem in the future I need to strengthen the end/transition of the previous paragraph so I can immediately dive into the important information without feeling like I have to explain or introduce it.
I’ve been thinking a lot about WP3, and I still have no idea what I’m going to do. I have some ideas of what I think would be cool, but I’m just not sure how I would do them or if they would even be practical. Even though the quarter has gone by super quickly, I think it is starting to wear on me. My thoughts for WP3 are super scattered and the assignment in general is a little daunting to me. I am hopeful that once I fully dive in, everything will start to make sense and settle into place.
