what I learned this week pt.8


Not going to lie, this week started off rough for me. I had some personal things going on and then coming to class and being really confused by WP3 made me even more frustrated. I’m the type of person that likes to follow exact directions and play by the rules, so it tends to be difficult for me to follow such “loose” directions. As a math and science person, I also find it hard for me to be creative at times, especially when it comes to thinking “out of the box” in a writing aspect. That being said, you can imagine how I was feeling when I started to brainstorm ideas for the WP3. I decided to take a step back and read through some articles. Doing this allowed me to find something I found interesting and let it kind of give me ideas. Rather than thinking of a genre for younger and older people and then making the article transform to those genres, I read the article and used the information presented to think of genres that would best fit. This helped a lot and made it so much easier to get my ideas. After coming to class on Wednesday, (as usual) writing project 3 became much more clear to me. After becoming more clear, it gained my interest and made me much more excited to write it. Although our class didn’t have the exact same instructions as the samples did, seeing the samples helped tremendously and solidified my understanding of the assignment. This week I was definitely challenged by the project but am thankful for that because it’s only going to help me grow as a writer and student.
