Project 2 Progress

Since Project 2 is an annotated bibliography, I had to change the way I start an assignment. I did not need to compose a thesis, but I had to keep in mind how all my sources needed to connect to an overall conversation. The most difficult part of the project so far has been researching. It is time-consuming to sift through and read/watch a bunch of different sources. It has also been difficult to decide whether a certain source will contribute to my conversation well. Once I chose my sources, it was easier to summarize and analyze them for rhetorical context and synthesis. I have learned a lot about APA format through this project, as well as through project 1. I have learned how to create APA citations for numerous different sources, including YouTube videos and academic journals. After we peer-reviewed last week in class, I got a better understanding of other people’s work and received good feedback on how to improve my own work. Overall, this project has strengthened my writing and research skills.
