Today, we had ample time to go over and workshop our thesis
in small groups. I found myself very frustrated having to pick my own topic for
the final paper. Sometimes I like when professors allow us to choose our own
topics for research analysis, but sometimes I also prefer a set paper topic. I
came into class today with a very bland outline and an idea of what I wanted to
write about, just didn't know how to construct it. After we spent the majority
of class time working in small groups to help one another with our outlines, I
found myself headed for success!
First of all, I love working in small groups.
I find working together with classmates gives me a substantial amount of room
for growth. Sometimes, I find it easier to work in small groups, and discuss
amongst each other, than it is to have a full-blown conversation in class. I
suppose it's different for everyone.
I really like the way Sam had us come
prepared with an outline to class today. Not only did it make us jump-start the
process of our final papers, and avoid procrastination, but also I found it super beneficial to work with
Nora, Rennie, and Stephanie. All three ladies helped me tremendously to focus
my paper, lead me in the right direction and make sure I was set up properly,
in order to explain what I intend to, correctly and efficiently. I am looking
forward to researching my topic in depth, and finding sufficient sources to
support my thesis. I am also looking forward to finding a screening of a film
this week that relates to women, so I can earn a little extra credit!
