Week 15 discussion

The assignment I feel was most successful was my reflection and analysis of Maya Angelou’s poem “Phenomenal Woman.” I say this because I actually really liked and enjoyed this assignment. This highly relatable assignment was my favorite since it allowed me to fully show my creativity and personal voice. Designing the two-page presentation on Maya Angelou’s “Phenomenal Woman” allowed me to select a poem that really represents who I am. I could have done better on Essay 1, which included investigating a student paper in regard to Gabriel García Márquez’s primary source story and Rader’s secondary piece. Looking back, I notice I failed to follow the outline closely, particularly in the introduction. I failed to clearly identify the title and author of both main and secondary sources, as well as describe what the task required of the student. One thing I learned this semester is the importance of carefully following assignment directions and properly comprehending the contents before writing about them. This taught me to slow down and read more carefully.
