  • As for applying what i have learned in this unit outside the classroom, I can not think of anything.

      How about using Diigo for research? How about not letting quotes speak for themselves? How about getting plenty of what "They say" before you talk about what "you say"? You know more than you think and it is now just a matter of practicing these skills
  • My lowest points of writing this paper was trying to find the information for the topic I have, books and online mostly talked more about characteristics, different types of whales, and where they travel too.

      Filtering info is tough. Do you have new ways of doing that now? Do you skim websites better now? Do you make your keywords more specific now? How have you changed the way you search online?
  • It was hard getting certain topics about eating habits.

      Sometimes you have to talk to people. Online as well as offline.

  • I do better when I am focused mainly on just one thing, because if i don't then i loose track on what I'm suppose to be doing. I found i love to listen to music when writing papers, I have no idea why but it helped a lot.

      That discovery about music is worth it. Ask me about listening to white/pink noise.

      Ok, personal interest drives everything even the most dry, informational papers. There is always an "I" behind every writing who is writing about themselves and others (They say.I say)
  • t can help me put a more creative and entertaining spin on some things, and everyone knows it's easier to read if it's fun, or tells a story. Plus, it helps me with ways on how to add evidence and quotes, stats and interviews to the paper,

      lMore creative More entertaining More fun because it is a story Evidence and support fit better
  • I'm not too sure on how to change the way I quote people via talking.

      One of the best ways to listen is to "quote back" what your heard them say. That way they are flattered that you were really trying to hear them and give them the benefit of the doubt. And they will more readily do the same for you even if you disagree. That's how I would think about applying it to your life.

  • I would say that the low point for me was pretty much accepting that my pre-season pick really doesn't stand a chance in winning the trophy this year

      True, but who thought Obama would get the Nobel Prize for Peace
  • internal battles that I encountered

      Interesting way to put this. Let me show you a cool book by stephen pressfield called the war of art.
  • took notes after every episode of SportsCenter and I constantly documented stats from the internet.

      Did your buddies think you were weird for taking notes on a TV program? I think it is pretty cool to access that kind of expert information.
  • Well first off and most importantly is... I can write a paper, that isn't considered "creative writing" and still enjoy it A LOT. I guess it just has to do with the topic of the paper, and the time span given to complete the given task. I didn't really feel rushed or anything to get this paper finished, I didn't find myself barely finding information to go on it at the last minute, and I didn't find myself pulling my hair out over the frustration that this paper was bringing me. I really did enjoy doing this writing assignment AND writing in this style.

      I sometimes think that I give too much time to do an assignment. I am glad that you felt it was just right. I fear that we will be ramping up the rate of work here till Thanksgiving. Two papers in that time period. Sorry, but the pain will do you good. ;-)
