Project two was a huge learning experience. In writing classes I tend to be less confident. When it comes to speaking to a big group of students, my voice gets shaky, I say “um” a lot and tend to lose my train of thought. With project two, I got to become a stronger speaker while I was presenting to my classmates. The multiple steps that Carmen provided to my classmates and I made me feel more comfortable when I had the chance to present my evidence and slideshow. Though I was still nervous to present my project, I was able to cooperate with the nerves and speak my ideas. I grew as a speaker. Speaking to a crowd full of people is a hard skill to develop and succeed at. Even though I have not always been successful at speaking in front of crowds, I am growing and getting better at it each time I have the opportunity. With discussion four, we talked about memes and why they matter. The discussion gave me the freedom to write and let me have fun with my ideas while continuing to learn. This discussion was one of the few times I was writing without any thought. I am getting stronger as a writer and critical thinker too by doing more analysis with my evidence that I provide. As a reader, I am becoming more comfortable speaking in front of people. What we are doing in this class will benefit me by expanding my knowledge and being confident with what I do with everything. The help I have gotten with my classmates have benefited me as well. My classmates and I got opportunities to split into breakout rooms to discuss our updates with how we are doing with assignments in class. The feedback I got from my classmates I wrote down and was able to help me with my project two. The feedback opened up my perspective with my project that it got me to develop more ideas. While I got to speak with my classmates about their assignments in the class, I got to see their process with their project two. The styles that my classmates used to present their projects were unique and gave me ideas as well. The style gave me the idea to use a Ted Talk in my project for my evidence. Overall, project two will help me move forward to better my writing, speaking and analyzing. The project will help me with my career by being a stronger writer with my essays I will be having in my major. I want to continue being better at writing as I have written multiple essays throughout my educational career. In order to be a better writer, my goal is to open up my vocabulary and analyze what I am writing more. My analysis should be deeper but also more condensed in order for the readers to understand. Moving forward, I plan to really focus on going more into depth with my research with project three and rewriting my project one to learn from my mistakes.
