Thlog #7

The quarter has flown by and we recently finished the final draft of WP2. It was a lot to work through, but it is always rewarding to finish something you have been working on for some time. As usual, we got some writing dope writing tips in class. Poemifying your paper was the most helpful to me as breaking down the paper line by line made sense. I could see it being a quick way to check how sentences flow together and making sure the transitions are strong. This would probably combine well with reverse outlining and be another way to check how your ideas are forming in a paragraph.

This week’s class was a tad different with Wednesday’s class being hosted online instead of meeting in person. The online class was a nice change of pace (lunch and writing were made for each other!) and reminded me of online courses I had taken in the past. We covered the moves of painters, which was a different type of analyzation. We tend towards studying moves in the written form so the shift to visual analysis was interesting. That being said, I don’t see how the videos connected to PB3A. The videos seemed like another moves assignment so I’m curious to see the connection appear. Overall, the online class was helpful with the Q&A at the end being the best part. Having some of the questions be answered lessened the pre-paper confusion.

WP3 seems the most different from the other assignments we’ve done t so far and I’m wondering which topic I’ll decide to go with. Genre transformation is new to me so learning that process may be a challenge but I’m hopeful that it will work out well. This being the final project before our portfolio, I may as well go out with a bang!
