Magazine Reflection Take Two!

1. Overall, when you think about the big picture of your writing, what improved? How did it get better? Why?
what i improved on is my writing. People helped me critiqued my paper and they helped me how to structure my writing and they helped me get better vocabulary for words that could of been replaced. The structure changed because people helped me have many topics towards the questions and they made me separate main topics from the interview questions. I made my interview more into a story rather than just a boring interview.

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?
What i think needs more work is basically adding more to the interview. I think t be good to add more information to the interview because i think it be better for the reader to get even more information on the place and about the people that worked there.

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.
I think that paths i took were just getting my work critiqued and improving it. i had many interviews around 6 and they were all critiqued diffrently an dthey helped me realize the diffrent mistakes that i made and how i could be able to improve it.

4. Describe something specific (or a few things!) that you learned about writing.
I think that critiquing helped me better my work and it helped me realize that i could fix my work and it can better and i can be able to make it better by thinking outside the box.

Magazine Reflection: the beginning

1. What went well for you during the process of creating this magazine?
What went good through out the process is the fact that i was able to get my paper critiqued by many people and they gave me great feedback because I'm not the best writer and getting my paper critiqued made my paper get better and more professional.

2. What challenges did you face as you moved from an early draft or idea to a final product?
A challenge i over came was when my computer shut down 3 times and i never had the time to save it. i over came it by plugging in my computer and going to a quite place where i got to do my work. i also saved my work every time i did a change.

3. What other examples of work—student and professional—stood out as exemplary and served as a good model for your own work?
I really didn't have a lot of work to look at bacause i was working on mine that whole time, so i basically did mine on my own. I also let Vanessa (my editor), work on my article that way they all looked alike but at the same time look different.
