Reflection...

So far I have read over 300 pages of Vogler's Writer's Journey and have completed 11 distinct annotations on every chapter of his book. I have also completed my very first memoir which later transferred itself into a research paper about homeschooling. Interestingly enough, the research paper had originally been produced as an argumentative paper on homeschooling, which in the end got me through the Writing Portfolio. This was the first time I was ever able to transform a paper from one form into another. I never thought I could possibly perform this kind of writing.

My plan of action is to (1) record my interview with my cousin regarding her experiences with homeschooling as a child, and (2) find suitable materials for my presentation December 5th. I would like to have a fold able billboard for most of the discussion section and use my laptop for visual feed (the song I found on Youtube, Socialization Blues). (3) Construct the billboard, and (4) suck it up and not feel so scared about doing the presentation.

I believe all of the above mentioned essentially feeds into my presentation. I look at it all as a flow chart, with one piece giving birth to another and finally ending in a presentation of all that has been covered. I highly doubt that the research paper (Project Two) could have possibly been created had it not been for the initial memoir (Project One). Even the organization in which I volunteered ( Project Three), which has almost nothing to do with homeschooling, managed to have a slight connection.
