In the first part of this week’s blog assignment, we interpreted and annotated the video Reflective Writing. I enjoyed the video very much, it gave me a lot of information on how to write more effective reflections. The video talked about writing more about your thoughts and feelings on what you learned and not just a time line of descriptions. In the future I hope to write more meaningful reflections by delving deeper into what I learned and how that knowledge will be used in the future. The second part of the assignment was to answer questions about how we wrote our Life Choice Memoir.
Who did you work with to compose your life-choice memoir? Was this a good approach? I wrote the first draft of my lcm alone. I chose to do it this way because I wanted to pour every memory I had of that time into it, and then edit it down to the parts that I felt were important. I did not want anyone else to influence me with the choices. I feel that this would lead to a more personal memoir. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? I wrote this creative non-fiction memoir trying to use mostly description and some narration rhetorical modes. I wanted the readers to be able to see and feel the story instead of just read it. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I started writing this memoir in three free writing sessions. The first one was in class and was followed by two more at home at my desk. When I was done the free writing, I used the material I had to start editing and forming the memoir at home. I found this to be a good approach because it gave me a lot of raw material to work with. When did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote this over quite a few sessions. I found this to be very helpful to keep me from being overwhelmed by the task and I am planning to use this process for my future writing assignments. Working full-time and going to school leaves me with very limited time and getting in even a few minutes here and there helps to get the job done. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I chose this subject because it has happened recently and has had a very large impact on my life. I still struggle with the events that occurred and the fate of my future. How did it feel to write this narrative ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? I am hoping that by writing about my struggle, I will be able to gain some inner peace. It seems that the more I share it with others, the better I am accepting it. How will you revise your narrative? I am looking forward to my session with Sabatino to work on the editing. I am going to need help with taking out more of the unnecessary details and adding to the more meaningful moments.
