Journal:
Within the past two weeks I have made substantial progress on my outline and my
research paper. I received feedback from my parents, a peer, and Mrs. Sasser. All of which were
extremely helpful in organizing my outline and ideas. While incorporating the feedback, I got a
better idea for the organizational structure of my third argument which I found to make most
sense and add to the flow of the outline.
For my paper during the class write-in, I was able to get a lot of progress in my
arguments and I found that when Im surrounded by people who are working, I am able to better
focus myself. Also, just sitting down and writing increased the idea flow, and while I was writing
I found that a lot of new ideas came to mind as I was writing the arguments.
Luckily, I recently discovered that a part of my house, when the door is closed, blocks all
sounds coming from the T.V. room. This is important because if I had to go another night with
hearing the T.V. on, I was going to give up and essentially no work would get done. This
discovery has led to the past couple nights being extremely beneficial work nights.
