This quarter has been a crazy one.

I feel like I have learned so much information about writing and research in such a short amount of time. My researched argument really pushed me out of my comfort zone because it forced me to be a more mindful researcher. Reading different sources made me want to work harder to complicate my own argument. The annotated bibliography allowed me to utilize the skills I learned within the library session with Gail. The multimodal assignment encouraged me to be more creative. The lower school and high school I attended were very academically driven.

Because of growing up in that environment, it was sometimes difficult for me to complete assignments like the blogs and the multimodal assignment. Right now I am struggling to make sure the “voice” of my blog doesn’t sound too professional. Regardless, because we did the multimodal assignment, I was able to see how something academic can be turned into a form of media that sends the same message but is less serious in tone. This is such a valuable asset because not everything that we do in the world will be academically researched 10 paged essays with cited sources. This class has offered us a variety of skill-sets that will be useful in any future profession.
