Self- Assessment Reflection for Annotated Bibliography


 

1.       My goals to write this annotated bibliography were to really understand the meaning and arguments from my sources. My goals were to really scatter through all my sources to pick which five would really help me out with research and progress.  I think I did really well on this so I would say I reached my goals, because I actually spent time on this and came back to it a few times with new eyes before I just walked away.

2.       I used my time to develop this paper, by using class time; gathering resources from everywhere, having other people look at my articles and tell me there ideas as well. I even went the library for extra help in find the right sources to gather information. I used workshop time, and talked to peers for advice.

3.       I always see my writing change, because even when you think you have a final draft, it’s never the final draft. You can always go back to add more; fix grammar, or even punctuation. My writing changed with grammar. I took the advice from peers and edited my work a lot.!!! We talked about each person’s topic, and analyzed any problem we seen was wrong, and I wrote down a lot of information even got neat ideas for sources.

4.       No one else contributed to my papers success. I think this because at the end of the day it depends on me. It depends on motivating myself to fix any errors, and take hours out of day to work on my paper to have it close to perfect.

5.       I have learned about myself as a writer that sometimes I think to fast which makes me write or type to fast, which that makes me cram my ideas together and when I know im trying to say something it just doesn’t come out the right way I intend to say it. I learned from other peers that my grammar needs a lot of working on, and describing more details for more work, which has always been a problem for me in my writing, I just see it clearly now. And making sure im providing my readers with an actual topic, instead of having people, ask me what my topic is or what im trying to state.

6.       I would say the hardest part of writing this paper was doing step three, and actually analyzing the author’s arguments. The easiest part of writing this paper, was putting my thoughts together and finding useful information from each of my sources. I really didn’t take many risks, except for trying to make my paper sound formal and profession as a writer. I changed a lot of structure in my paper.

7.       I am proud of all my papers, but the most I would have to say I am the most proudest of was, the fourth one i used as one of my sources, about nature, children, and adults. I feel like I really made strong connections with my quotes and this book!

8.       A paper is always going to need improvement from another person’s eyes. But I don’t really think anything is wrong with my paper because I changed a lot of sentences and ideas I had from before. The only thing I’m concerned about is my urls, if that was right or wrong how I had them. I checked some of my blog member’s pages to see if I did, but that wasn’t much help either. I reread all my five papers over correctly before turning it in. I tried to read it from the end to the top to really pick up any mistakes I didn’t see before.  

9.       My writing process from start to finish would be this, I took notes in class to guide me through what had to be done. Then I started researching, finding articles, books, journals, blog posts anything I could find on creativity I would print or save it to my computer to come back to. Then I would eliminate any sources I found that was not useful. I had finally had my five sources. Then I would start each individually and write it on a blank white piece of paper all my information I needed to type up. I typed up more work took advice from work shop peers, and then reedited some more myself. I read all these out loud to myself, and backwards from end to start. I then looked over all five again before turning it in to see if I missed anything else.
