Thursday Check-In:
For the assignment, we are supposed to answer the five interview questions and meet the word requirement, however is the format for us to decide? Are we allowed to write this document in a question answer format, along with numbers and bullet points? Or would you prefer a paragraph, traditional style essay? Along with the format, should there be an introduction and conclusion paragraph as well, or are the questions sufficient enough? Thank you!
What I Like Most About My Interview Questions:
When reflecting upon question four, which is "The internet has brought new genres and formats to our writing document. Can you explain a situation where you worked creatively within a writing genre to complete a project". I believe this question and the response is my strongest because it connects so well with my future career of being a teacher. When educating students on how to adapt their writing into various genres and formats, it is essential that students are able to use their creativity. This is the component that will make their work shine. One of the most prominent examples I can think of is utilizing powerpoint and other video recording platforms, such as TikTok, IMovie, or Cameo. I have seen a plethora of students use these platforms after writing their document or essay, and then creating a visual element to further the audience's understanding of the concept. During one of my placements, students were learning about the science of ants, which was adapted from a book reading into another lesson on how to use animatronic ants and guide them through various tunnels. The lesson was taken a step further when students were then asked to create a video creatively explaining their retained knowledge on the ant lesson. This is a great way to use new technology to further learning and writing!
What are you most proud of with your writing process?
I'm pretty proud with how my writing process continued to evolve throughout the semester, thanks to the feedback from my instructor. The revision part of the process changed significantly, as it grown from just creating an outline to researching, getting ideas on what information can be added, to getting a general idea of what the paper will be like.
I think it is great that you continue to see growth in your writing process, especially after viewing and implementing the feedback from peers. I hope all this progress and growth continues for you throughout your academic writing journey!

What I Like Most About My Learning Style:
The thing I love most about personal learning style is how adaptable it is. Depending on the particular course or subject I am learning about, it determines the approach I will utilize to retain the information best. When moving through this particular writing course, I feel that my learning style has been more visual. It was much easier for me to comprehend a topic when there was some sort of visual element to guide my understanding. An example I specifically think of are the multi-modal element were included into our content analysis essays. Typically, I would classify my learning style as a mixture of visual and a hands on approach. I work a lot and am actively involved in sports and working out, I especially find myself needing a hands on approach when trying to do activities. In order to be successful, I have to see it, then work through and do it myself.

What do you like more about your learning?
What I like most about my learning this semester is how much more confident I feel when approaching writing assignments. I realized that writing isn’t just about the final product—it’s about understanding my own process and being willing to revise. I’ve learned how to identify what isn’t working and how to fix it, rather than starting over from scratch. I also appreciate that I’ve become more aware of my strengths, particularly in organizing ideas and explaining them clearly. This class really helped me grow as a writer and a thinker.
I totally agree with your statement, especially when it comes to our revision process. I feel I didn't critique my work enough before learning more in depth about our writing process. This course has definitely taught me a lot about writing and planning, I will continue to work on these skills more in the future!
What Am I Most Proud of About My Writing Process?:
When reflecting upon my writing process and many of the materials and resources we've discussed throughout this course, I am most proud of my updated revision process. Before enrolling in this class, I believed that the revision process was one final read through and check of your essay. However, I realize now that it is much more extensive. The feedback element is also much larger than I previously thought. When asking for feedback on an essay, it is essential to first provide readers with a strong essay, then give readers clear and direct questions on specific elements you would like critiqued and looked over. Then, once readers have provided some feedback, the writer may sort through it and add things in to strengthen their essay. Revising is also much deeper than just grammar and spell checks. It entails the overall flow of your essay, the tone set for the audience, an audience analysis, multimodal elements, and much more. All these things together help to improve a writers revision and writing process.

Here is an element within my "Connecting Data" section. Does this format make sense, or should I re-format it in a paragraph format? I wasn't sure if this simplified it or just made the ideas more jumbled.
I think the format of this paragraph is excellent! It is simple to read and understand, is sequential, and answers the research question. Personally, I thought this provided more clarity than writing with typical paragraph structure!

One of my favorite snack foods to maintain motivation is apples with peanut butter, specifically green apples (granny smith are the best)! It helps me to stay focused on my work, but is so delicious and rewarding.
Peer Feedback:
In the first post titled "Final Thoughts", I am discussing my data analysis and findings in previous slides, however my tone seems more focused towards the content creator and not the academic audience. Are there any suggestions you have for shifting the text and its tone more towards readers and a college academic essay?
The next slide is my conclusions on the audience analysis portion of the powerpoint. Again the tone could be tweaked a bit, although I need to include more images to show proof of the key takeaways from the analyzed content. Any suggestions of images I could incorporate to help support these conclusions and strengthen the slide?
Lastly, I am struggling with organizing my appendix portion of the essay, what are others doing to make this page neater, and easy to navigate and read through? Are you putting it within a separate document or located just after you conclude the essay?
Thank you and good luck to all !!!
Taking a Step Back
The thing I will take away from this process of drafting over multiple weeks is to remember to step back and take my time with projects. I like to binge my projects and do everything at once. But slowing down has helped my ideas develop and change throughout these few weeks. I have a better understanding of my topic than I did week 1. It also helps to step away so you can come back with fresh eyes and a renewed mind. It becomes hard to see the whole picture when you get bogged down in the details.
I am the same way, when completing an essay I am always trying to rush through (which leads to stress) in order to reach my final goal. However, the work is so much more successful if little increments of time are spent accordingly (without distractions) over a longer time span. This was also one of the aspects I have taken away from this course, and I plan to continue utilizing this strategy throughout my academic and professional careers!
What I Have Learned About My Writing Process:
Throughout our time in this course, I have learned so many different elements that I will incorporate into my writing process after graduating from Millersville. First and foremost, something that really stuck out to me was focusing on the brainstorming process, that this is an actual step that needs to be taken in order to have the most successful product. Before, I didn't really think of brainstorming as a step, let alone an entire day of your writing process. After reading this class material, I have discovered that taking the time to brainstorm, and put your thoughts and ideas on paper is crucial. It is essential to ensure your concept works and is valid. Rather than be halfway through your essay and have to pivot the entire concept completely, because you realize that the essay and topic are not flowing properly.
Another aspect of the writing process that I have learned is ensuring that your layout of the overall paper is accurate. While learning specifically about content strategy, the information architecture is a crucial part of ensuring information is reciprocated and understood accurately. This also relates to writing a college essay. The layout of your paper should be effective, well organized, throughly though out, and easy for the desired audience to read. After learning about the importance of this step, I have taken more time to ensure my academic essays, and other writing projects outside of school are easily navigable and comprehendible.

Can you tell me what you think this graph is saying? I am looking for suggesting on making sure it is as readable and direct as possible!
This graph is examining various categories of posts that Giant is promoting on their social media platforms, based on the generated amount of likes and comments the post receives. If that is the goal, then the graph makes sense!
Drafting Process:
Something that I have learned from the drafting process within this course is that it is not something that is a quick task to accomplish. While drafting many of these essays, I have learned how much time and effort goes into crafting a well-written, academic essay, that conveys a meaningful message to your audience. I have also learned that when creating a checklist to track my progress, I tend to find many other aspects within my paper that need to be revised, or looked at again to receive accurate feedback. Drafting essays throughout this course has given me an improved approach to revising an essay. I identify weaknesses (and strengths), that I wouldn't have found before. It has taught me so many various skills about using resources and critical thinking. This long and strenuous drafting process has also taught me that it is okay to ask peers for help, and rely on their feedback, not to be afraid of all the "mistakes" made. Rather, it is just the beginning of the brainstorming process!

An example of data I have seen in real life is weather forecasting. The data is shown as a percent of rain, wind, humidity, temperature, etc. This is a type of data method that individuals use and view every day.

what does your final revision process look like? My final revision process is a lot of looking at the guidelines and any and all feedback I have received to attempt to continue crafting my essay/project to the best of my ability. Since we have yet to submit this weeks and received feedback it would be to have this weeks work submitted and sent back to see exactly what it is that is missing overall to be able to specifically focus on that.
I think this is an excellent approach to a revision process, I also look extensively over the rubrics and feedback to ensure I have met all the requirements! Good luck on your final draft!
