1. What did you discover about your writing during this project?

2. Identify and describe (at least) one specific writing technique that you used. How did you use it? What effect did it have on your writing?

3. If you had time for one more draft, what would you do?

4. Copy one sentence that you believe is well-written and/or important to your overall piece. What makes it stand out to you?

1. During this project I learned that after the summer I could still write. I really enjoy writing and I think that I'm sort of good at it so it felt good to write again and get my thoughts down on paper. I discovered that there were many differenet writing techniques that made my writing even better.

2. One of the many techniques that we learned was to avoid "-ing's." I attempted to do this.. and I hope I avoided most of that in my writing this time. Sometimes it's impossible to avoid "-ing's" but I tried to avoid using an excessive amount of them in my writing. 

3. If I had time for one more draft I would definitely be sure to use more of the writing techniques that we were taught in class. I used some of them but I think I could have done a better job listening and applying them to my writing. 

4. "I still to this day have that poster on my wall not just to say that I've met her but to know that someone who is so accomplished and so successful told me to follow my dreams and to never back down from them." I think that this sentence I wrote stands out to me because I say what I hope to gain from meeting my American Icon and what I feel I gained from her and what she said to me.
