My snow week was a nice break. I went to my friend's house on Monday and spent the night. We had pizza for dinner and made churros for desert with a chocolate dipping sauce. We had to make them for our snow day assignment. They were really good. For breakfast, Claudia made cinnamon roll waffles with icing on top.
The next couple of days off were relaxing. I slept late and watched a lot of movies. I saw Frozen for the first time. It was so good. I had low expectations and I ended up really liking it. The bet part was, when we walked out of the movie theatre and it was snowing! I was so surprised! I have never seen it snow here.
Post 2: Your research paper draft: what do you feel confident about in this draft? What are you concerned or unsure about? What was easy and what was hard? What would you like help changing? What should I focus my feedback on when I read? (Write a two-paragraph post that responds to these questions but that works independently as a piece of writing, not just a list of answers).
I am really confident in my rough draft. I feel like it is well-written and organized. I feel like my thesis statement is strong, concise, and to the point. The toughest part about writing the paper was citing all of the sources. Luckily, I went back and checked to make sure I had done it right. It was easy to write it once my notecards were finished. That did not take me very long.
It was a lot easier to write this paper than I expected. I was concerned that I would be struggling to reach the 4-6 page requirement. But because I had taken the notecards seriously and filled them with a lot of useful information, it was not as hard as I imagined. My weakest link in my paper is probably my conclusion. I would like help changing my conclusion and making sure my quotations are well-introduced.
