Magazine Reflection, Second Part

1. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what improved? How did it get better? Why?
Throughout this project, my writing improved due to the many drafts I had before my final product. I was able to make paragraphs and sentences shorter and still have the same message. Also, my group helped me. They gave me good critique and pointed out what could be fixed and how to fix it.

2. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what still needs work? What do you think will help you improve? Why?
My vocabulary can be improved. Its all up to me though. I have to start reading more books in English so I can learn new words and also how to use them. Having a bigger vocabulary will improve my writing because I would have more words to choose from.

3. Specifically, show us something that improved and describe the path it took to get better. You can quote your article, your drafts, link to evidence, etc.

4. Describe something specific (or a few things!) that you learned about writing.

Magazine Reflection: The Beginning

1. What went well for you during the process of creating this magazine?
During the process of this magazine, I improved my writing skills. My group gave me great critiques. They mentioned what wasn't appropriate for a a magazine and they even told me how to fix these flaws. I also learned how to make the article shorter and still have the same message.

2. What challenges did you face as you moved from an early draft or idea to a final product?

Time was a conflict during this magazine, as well as pressure. If we compare my first draft with my final product, we would notice a significantly difference. My first draft was my blog entry, but I fixed the spelling and the word usage. With drafts, I improved my article and I managed make it shorter and still have the same message.

3. What other examples of work—student and professional—stood out as exemplary and served as a good model for your own work?
Amanda's article served me as a model because we both wrote about Economic Advice. We shared advices and opinions about our work.
Josh was a great help for my layout design. He gave Elmo, my editor, a great idea for my layout.
