Notebook final activity

These notebooks activities helped greatly in developing my writing and creative process. There
were two notebooks that helped me build my note taking and organization. The notebook project that
required me to annotate 5 items to an article introduced me to a new tool I could use for taking notes
when reading through an article on a website. The project also helped my organization by providing
information points that could be structured into paragraphs. The project that required me to find a graph
and inform the reader of the purpose it has also helped me in gathering research and strengthened my
writing towards focusing on a subject.

The notebooks that I did were not all just work and heavy thinking though there were many
projects that allowed me to find a humorous side to my social issues along with opportunities that would
allow me to provide my own personal commentary. The notebook that had me create a meme was a good
break from all the research I was doing towards my project it allowed me to just sit back and create a joke
to break away from all the seriousness that my project had behind it. The same could also be said about
the notebook project that had me write a comedic monologue. The project was really kind of a rant that
me and my friends would have when we hang out, so it really felt natural and not so forced. Another
project that was really fun to do was responding to a tweet or comment on Facebook about my social
issue because it allowed to try out my debates and point towards people on the comment section. Though
I didn’t actually get counter augments and backlash until after the project was due it was fun to defend
my opinion and point flaws in others people I’ve always been into debate so it really was just an excuse
to pick a fight on twitter.

The notebooks that I liked to do the most and enjoyed were just the simple ones that required
me to do research and play to my strengthens. The notebooks like the debating one the meme project
and the summarizing the graph or data. These projects allowed me to do what I like to do and that’s
research subjects that interest me provide my take on the matter and defend and presented it to others.
These are the type of notebooks I’d be happy to try and apply to my other writing subjects after this class
because it helps me get involved into a subject. Especially the summarizing of a graph the project not only
had me do a lot of research but also by summarizing it and teaching it back helped me understand it so
much more. In the event that I need to do another argumentative essay this will be able to help me
understand that subject matter more clearly and my career dream period is becoming an attorney so it
will able to translated perfectly into that line of work.

Creating these projects helped me discover new ways to improve my writing strategies and
provided me with many key tools as well. The annotation tool will be greatly helpful towards keeping
notes and referring back to certain subjects for articles I read. The research tools that it exposed me to
allowed me to become more comfortable with SLCC library and now am able to find research that I’m
specifically needing by filtering it to the tee. I can strongly say after the information project I’ve been
playing around with this research tool more often and integrating into other classes as well. Finally these
projects helped me become more vocal about my personal opinions most of these notebooks had the
same common theme of providing some form of a narrative memoir. It allowed me to show more emotion
towards my writing and helped create more of a connotative meaning towards words like conservation
and issues. This personal memoir can be used for more forms of essays and projects I used narrative skills
and a bit of a flash memories for my music classes project that needed me to break down my favorite
artists due to being able to provide more of an emotional tie to it my teacher found it to be very compelling
and bumped my grade solely on that. Though to be honest I found these notebooks to be quiet tedious
at times I am leaving with a greater understanding for research, notes, and strategies in my writing.
