I think that having a classmate read my paper really helped. It was helpful to another set of eye look over the work that I had done, and my partner gave me pointers of how I could make my paper better. I didn't realize that we could personalize our paper with our own experiences and knowledge, and my partner helped me see that these small additions could really give my paper a more personal feel. I guess I am so used to writing strictly research papers, that I forgot that we could have a little fun with this paper.
I also liked how we were given class time to work on an "extra piece" for our overall project. I took advantage of this time, and I came up with a good start to an extra piece, and I think that I will actually use it for one of my pieces. It was fun to watch other people present the extra pieces that they created in that short time period. It gave me lots of ideas and suggestions for what an extra piece can look like.
I love that you are doing your piece on gymnastics and I am happy that we were given that extra time too. I am anxious to create my own genres. Addison is in gymnastics and she loves it!
