This week in Card 101, we continued to add analysis to our documentary projects and we shared our drafts with peers. Personally, I think it was beneficial to hear and give feedback to each other. Reading another person's helped me see what I needed to focus on in my own essay, and made me realize what I could integrate and change. I also thought it was nice to fill out the organizer worksheet because it felt like a rubric "checklist"- where I can have more assurance that I followed the rubric and made the points mentioned in class.
Today's topic for the free write was also extremely helpful, considering it made me think of ways I could improve my documentary summary. Having ten minutes to reflect, I gathered a lot of things I could work on before I submit. For one, I need to refer to key characters by their last names rather than their first names. I believe in my original draft I switched around a lot and it could be difficult to keep track of who I am mentioning. Additionally, I have to look through the Purdue Owl resource and refresh my memory on sentence structure and active and passive voice. Although the presentation and class clarified my understanding, I think I need to go more in-depth to make sure I followed the prompt and my writing compares to the examples.
Regarding the assignments that make up our card grade, I feel I am still somewhat confused about the events and workshops. In class, the one workshop students were unaware of would not deduct any points was mentioned, however, I am curious to know what other workshops the category entails if that makes sense. I will definitely have to review the syllabus and talk to some peers to double-check if my understanding is correct!
