- H2O Project; Petition Letters
We just completed our Water Quality Project and I'm really proud at what I was able to create and accomplish. I decided to make a petition e-mail/letter to bring awareness and change to pollution in Imperial Beach. I'm proud of this because it was an issue that I actually do care about. I'm also proud because I spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into making this what it was. Not just at the very beginning or the very end of the project, but throughout the whole process. I didn't procrastinate and I aimed for high-quality work.
I wrote two letters--one to the reader and one to Imperial Beach City Council members. I worked really hard on the letters because they were the main compenent of my project. It was important to me that the writing was my best and that the message was clear. I did this by writing many, many drafts and getting each one critiqued and revised. I wrote about 18 drafts of letters and with each draft, came higher quality writing. It was also important that I was able to stay organized througout this project and keep all of my work in one place. I did this by keeping every paper and every
draft organized in a folder dedicated to this project. I also made a banner for the top of the page, which was a huge challenge for me because I don't know anything about Photoshop. I did multiple drafts on this, as well. I did my best and I'm proud of what I was able to do.
I think that some of my best work is written in this blog. Throughout the entire course of the semester, we have been assigned a blog to update twice weekly. Most often, we are given a prompt that asks us to explore and explain our opinions on current events and topics related to what was learned in class that day. I feel that my blog is a display of some of my best work because I give my detailed thoughts on topics that, otherwise, I may not have been interested in. When I write each blog, I try to become interested in the topic, if I'm not already. This makes it much easier to write, not to mention more honest and reflective. For example, the
blog about the whaling controversy wasn't something I would really be interested in. However, after reading and learning about it, I found that it actually is a very interesting topic and writing the blog was much easier. I try to show my knowledge about a certain topic, even if it's not much. I've kept up with each Tuesday/Thursday blog entry, and this helps me from becoming too overwhelmed with blogs that I have to catch up with and write. I check to see if there is a blog assigned each night and if there is, I write it as soon as I can so that it gets done.
