Inquiry Reflection

Inquiry Blog
The Inquiry blog was actually really helpful. When I first heard about it I thought that it would stupid. I think that it's good that we were able to display our writing and that our classmates were able to comment on it. I got ideas about what I could write about by being able to look at other peoples' work. It also let me know if I was doing my assignment right by seeing what my classmates were doing. I think that blogger was pretty easy to use once I got the hang of it. I wish I would've done a better job of commenting on my classmates work because I might of been able to help someone get a better idea of what to write about. Overall I don't think that the blog really impacted my writing, but I was a nice way to display my writing and show my improvement over the course of the semester.


Inquiry Project
The inquiry project was definitely difficult, it was by far the hardest assignment we had to do all semester. I don't think that I have ever written an argumentative paper before. I had a problem with preventing my paper from sounding too conversational. I actually ended up enjoying this assignment despite the difficulty of it because I really started to get interested in my topic. I didn't enjoy righting the first draft because I didn't really know what I was doing and I think my writing reflected that. It got a lot easier after receiving the feedback on it because I knew what I was doing right and what I needed to change. I think I ended up writing a pretty good argumentative paper in the end. I believe that this helped me become a better writer because it was so challenging, and even though I enjoyed the challenge I wouldn't be upset if I never had to write another paper like this.
