self assesment reflection

1. my goal for this paper was to find the perfect image to show different innovative ways teachers teach in charter schools. I looked for about 3 hours until i found one i was satisified with.
2. i did not use my time well developing this paper. what i thought was going to be a breeze ended up taking me several days. i used my time trying to reach my goal by spending most of an afternoon just searching for the image that said what i wanted it to.
3. my writing severly changed from my first draft which was for the better. i wish i would have worked harder on my first draft so that i could have gotten more direct peer suggestions. i worked with my peers by really taking in there advice and sitting down and looking for better images, making my writing more specific and not so broad.
4. i think the class really helped with my papers success. Doing examples in class really helped guide me and showed me what i should be doing and what i am expected to be doing.
5. as a writer i learned that i really need to stay on task better. I start my paper and then get distracted then 2 days later i have still accomplished nothing. i learned from others that it is important to understand the assignment or else you will do it all wrong.
6. for me the hardest part of writing this paper was staying on task. when serching for images online, it was hard not to go off on a tangent and get completely lost. the easiest part was discribing the images in the paper. i took risks when choosing my images. i went out on a limb with my second image.
7. i am proudest of my intorductary paragraph. it was really rocky in the first draft but i was able to explain exactly what charters were in comparison to public school.
8. like i have said a couple times my paper was a disastor so the entire thing needed improving. I did this by completly redoing the entire thing.
9. my writing process started by doing research on charter schools. i needed to know what they were exactly, how did they compare to neighborhood schools, what about them did people like, what about them did people dislike. then i search and searched for images. once i found the ones i like i jotted down some quick notes on them and finally began writing.
