As I've said before...
planning is kind of my thing. I always try to have a plan for my plan. When writing my Rhetorical Analysis, I began by creating an outline for each paragraph, even my thesis sentence. This seems to be the best way for me to work efficiently. I found myself stumped a few times over forming my perspective on the piece. Once I had an understanding, words were flowing and my thoughts began to make sense on the screen. Two weeks ago I would have told myself: "You're going to critique every last word you write, so you might want to start this now." And also: "High school AP English can't save you!!!" --> This one mainly because I thought I knew all there is to know about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.... ha ha ha at me. Generally, I remain very productive when I am doing school work because I have other things I would rather be doing; as does everyone. However, in writing this, I've realized that productivity is a gradual thing, and each time I sit down to write a paper I need to remember that it isn't going to be finished and sparkling. Good things take time, and it's okay to revise multiple times. Feedback from my student conference encouraged me to be vulnerable with my writing, and that I don't have to hide my work due to the fear of it not being perfect. From that interaction, I was able to walk away with useful tools such as de-fluffing, a general understanding to Kairos, and the confidence to properly form an opening paragraph (thesis included). Overall, this assignment was a great introduction to what the rest of the semester will look like, and it makes me excited to know that I will be able to be creative and personable with [most of] my work.
