So what? Who cares? I DON’T KNOW, but I should have thought about it more. So far I think that the WP2 has been the hardest assignment to date. I definitely need to focus more on why my analysis matters. I didn’t feel confident in my thesis, and that reflected in the feedback I received.

I think I would have benefited from feedback on my PB2B like the feedback we got on the PB1B. Also, I should have looked over the syllabus more thoroughly. I am glad we get the opportunity to revise our first two writing projects to turn into our final portfolio, because I wasn’t totally happy with my WP2.

I’m excited about new writing assignment though, because of its creative quality. I am not the biggest fan of academic writing to begin with, but I do think I’m going to like the format for WP3. I’m not the biggest fan of academic writing because I get bored of my own writing and that just frustrates me. I don’t like the pressure of writing for a grade. I am aware that the academic writing is beneficial for my university career, and I am grateful I get the opportunity to learn how to improve my writing, but I still don’t wake up in the morning thinking, “Yay! I am so excited to write a research paper today.” . I do sometimes enjoy reading research papers though, because of the information that they contain, but it really depends on the topic. Due to the unconventional format of WP3 I am super stoked to read other people’s finished products. In my Children’s Media class we are asked to think like a child in order to understand advertisement directed at children, so I’m looking forward to think like an artist that has children in mind.
