Multimodal Microtheme reflection

I presented my Multimodal Microtheme today and I'm feeling pretty good about it. It was a different type of project but I've learned a lot from it. Its kind of funny how you start out with this one problematic question, and the more you think about it, the more it branches out into so many other different things. Another thing I learned was my use of word choice so I don't completely shut down inquiry. My biggest struggle that I overcame for this assignment was the transition from a 3-5 page paper to a 1 page paper. Usually when I'm writing a paper I find myself trying to add as much as I can so I fit the required amount of pages in. However, it was completely opposite for this assignment. Anyways, kind of glad that I'm finished. Looking forward to the next project!

Microtheme Reflection
So I got some very valuable information today in class about how many things I need to improve on with my microtheme. The microtheme has proven to be pretty difficult so far because of how short it is, you really have to put a lot of thought into every single sentence. One of the conflicts I have overcome is adding more tension into my thesis question. My original question was pretty simple, nothing about the entire paper should be simple. Everything should be an in-depth speculation about that one problem. Some other things I had to improve on was the use of my qualifiers as well as using "we" instead of generalizing about other people. There is a lot of work to do! I'm thinking about checking out the writing center for this one. Has anyone used the writing center before? How did it help you?

Cats and Dogs
Since there was nothing specifically assigned to blog about this week, I'm going to share some funny videos that I've seen recently on the internet. The first video is a puppy trying trying to figure out what a frozen strawberry is. The other video is the biggest cat in New York City. You should definitely check out the puppy video its pretty funny. The cat video is kinda weird, I guess cats are just weird in general.
