I can’t believe we only have one more week of class left! I’ve learned so much this quarter, and I’ve really noticed a difference in my writing. I felt so accomplished after finishing WP3, now only the Portfolio is left! WP3 was a cool assignment. I consider myself to be a creative person, so it was nice getting to incorporate some of that into my writing with the genre transformations. I didn’t struggle too much with this WP. Once I had my ideas figured out, everything fell into place. The transformations came naturally, and it was pretty easy to use the information from the article in each of the other genres. The analysis portion of the paper took me a lot longer than I had anticipated. I used so many strategic moves in the genre transformation and I wanted to include as much of it as I could in my transformation. I kind of feel like I ran out of time at the end. I think if we had until Sunday night to turn it in, I would have felt less stressed. But I got it completed, and that is the important part.
When we did the peer review session on Wednesday, my group members and I did not have a lot of our WP’s completed. We spent a good amount of time just discussing our ideas and brainstorming with each other. It was really helpful to voice our concerns and work through them together. We also read over each others’ papers (what parts of it we had done) and gave feedback. I got some really great notes on mine that helped me when I was writing. Someone suggested I tweak parts of the formatting on my genre transformation for younger audiences to more closely follow the conventions of the work I was trying to create.
With all the WP’s completed, I feel ready to take on the final writing assignment. I know it’s going to be a lot of work, but I’m excited to show how much I have grown as a writer.
