1. My writing process was different in this project versus project one in that I brainstormed a lot differently due to the change in type of paper. I got all of my quotes, facts, paraphrases, etc. done before I actually made an introduction or cohesive paragraphs because it was easier to start from the sources and work my own writing into it from there. With the first essay, I wrote an intro first to get an idea as to how I would organize my essay, and that was one of my last steps for this project. My rough draft was much less cohesive but it helped me to focus on what to write later.
2. I always prefer transferring one draft to another because starting the writing is the hardest part for me. Once I get something down, it's typically pretty easy for me to stay on a roll and keep writing, whereas in the beginning I usually write and erase at least five times, making it a very time consuming and tedious process. It helps me to look at the draft and take what I have in order to transform it into something else.
3. I preferred project one because in general, I like analytical papers over research papers. I enjoy analyzing readings and making meaning out of it more than I do looking at outside sources and trying to tie multiple pieces of information together. It's usually easier for me to find a topic that interests me for essays like project one more than essays like project two.

I also enjoyed project one more than project two. Analytical papers are so much easier to write and we got to choose something we enjoyed. I liked project two, but project one was much more fun to write.
ReplyDeleteThe use of multiple drafts did help me so I did not have to go back and erase everything, but gave me something to branch off of. I also enjoyed project 1 more because it was more analytical and research papers are more time consuming.
ReplyDeleteSyvannah, I agree that the brainstorming was completely different from one project to the next. I agree that after having one draft complete, it makes it much easier for you to get more ideas out there to tie everything together and polish your final drafts.
