I am most proud of the fact that I learned the purpose of content strategy and what that means, while tieing it into web writing. This allowed me to build a solid foundation for my writing process. Web writing is dependent on audience engagement and how the audience responds to your writing. With this, I learned so much about the process. This process takes a lot of drafting, revisions, peer feedback, more drafting, more audience feedback, and final revisions. Throughout this class, I was able to put this process into action with the Content Analysis Project. Ultimately, building upon my writing skills, drafting, and revisions.

What I liked most about my learning throughout this class was that it was ongoing. Each week, I was learning something new. I was almost always building off of what I learned the week before as well. This type of learning is beneficial as we continue to learn and build on our base. This process allowed me to learn a lot this semester, specifically about web writing.

Personally, what I liked most about my essay was the fun images and graphics. I thought that each image in my slideshow was meaningful and made connections with my analysis. My images enhanced my writing because, as the audience read my reasoning/explanations, they had a visual to go along with it, so they knew exactly what I was talking about.

These are my go-tos!

I have 7 graphs like these. Should I include another type of graph to display my data?

For the appendix and codes used section, is this all we need to include? Or am I missing something?

For this request, I was wondering if this is enough background information on who she is as a content creator? I don't want my slides to be too lengthy, but I want to ensure that I include enough information for others to understand.

Something specific that I learned about my writing process that will help me after college is that revision and peer feedback matter so much. I feel like we always think our work is good until we take a step back and let someone see it from another perspective. Peer review was extremely helpful for my writing process. It gave me time to take a break from revising and collaborate with others and their thoughts. This process ensures that my writing is clear, well-organized, and grammatically correct. Ultimately, improving my writing process down the road.

After drafting across multiple weeks, something I will take away and utilize in my writing process after college is that things take time. I feel like working on simple sections at a time and ensuring they are meeting all the requirements works so much better than working on the entire project at once. This way I was able to stay organized and focus on one section at a time to ensure my best work. I then could go back the next week and see what changes I need to make based on my peer review. I felt like this process kept me from feeling overwhelmed with work. Overall, I will definitely use this writing process in the future.
