this week we had to turn in the draft of our paper. I hope i did well on mine. I think there are a few things i need to work on. In some places it seems to me like i might repeat myself.. then again maybe not? I think there are some things that perhaps may not belong in my paper. I guess i'll have to see after the review is in. Sometimes its hard to put all the information together and figure out which way you want it to go.. Is my info flowing right? is it in the wrong order? all things i guess i'll figure out after my draft is reviewed..

unit 5

In unit 5 we learned techniques to help us with the pre-writing process. I think that this unit will be extremely helpful to me writing my rough draft because i can use these techniques to organize my thoughts and how i want to present the information. I want my rough draft to really represent the work i have been putting into this project and i believe these techniques i have learned in this unit will help me do that. When i use the informal outlining, it is going to be helpful in my putting my ideas in the order in which i want to present them.

This week we learned the importance of citing our sources for our research papers. I think it's important because you don't want to steal someones work. I thought about how upset i'd be if i put my work into something and someone stole it and didn't give me the proper citation to say that it's my work. So its really important for me to site all my sources properly even though its kind of confusing.
