Writing Project #2 was easier to complete than the first
project, although it required more special circumstances such as creating links
within links in order to blog it. We had the opportunity in Writing Project #2
to select the locations we would evaluate for the overall project. I feel like
giving the students a bit of freedom in choosing their topics motivates them
and allows them to sit down and make an effort in writing a paper about it. In
Writing Project #2 in specific, we were able to select four locations on campus
that provided goods or services, useful or not. I then had to explain in what
ways these locations were good or in what ways they are terrible. The
evaluations for each location became an annotation, of which we end up having
four in our paper.
My four pin pointed places were four of the school's book
stores and shops, convenient for ASU affiliated merchandise. The Sun Devil
Campus Bookstore, the College Store, Campus Corner and the Student Book Center.
These are the best locations to purchase ASU apparel for game day, or just to
stock up and stay spirited. The key to choosing the best overall shop is to
evaluate each store's quality of product, variety, and affordability. These were
essential to my evaluations since I was supposed to present the reader with the
best four locations regarding my topic.
Although Writing Project #2 seemed to be an easy break from
essays such as our first project in class, it proved to be otherwise as the
deadline was approached. I felt as if I
spent more time than necessary trying to figure out the tactics of blogging my
essay correctly and making sure I had everything from the Google map to the
hyperlinks in place. Perhaps the thing I had the most trouble with was reaching
100-800 words in just an introduction without repeating myself. This is
definitely not your typical hand-in-your-printed-essay English class, but
projects like these challenge me to think outside the standard college essay.
