Week 15 Analysis

How did the reading go for you this week? What struck you the most in this week's reading? Were there ideas you struggled with? 
   I really liked this quote from one of the readings 
“As a writer, you’d be foolish if you weren’t pushing yourself to get to the heart of things,” she says. “Our surface feelings – the ones where you rant and rave at people, and glorify and denigrate yourself – aren’t the most interesting.

Where did you do your best writing this week — in this class? In another class?  Have you discovered some good strategies for helping yourself focus on writing for this class?
     My favorite writing this week was for one of my History classes where we had to write an essay about a book we just finished "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl."
   
Did you read something excellent written by someone else in the class? What made it stand out to you? 
     I read several posts for this class and my other classes and commented on a few of them.

How are things going in your other classes? Are there any connections you are noticing between your other classes and stuff you are doing for this class?
     We had to give a peer review of our essays in one of my History classes.  These always seem awkward because you want to be helpful without being hurtful.

What are your plans and hopes for next week in this class? In your other classes?

     Starting smaller assignments early this week since I have a final draft of an essay due this Sunday and several other assignments due this week.  Starting to prepare for finals in classes I am the least confident in.
