How are you feeling about the end of the semester?

- I actually don't know how to feel about the end of the semester. All that comes to mind is that we are halfway through the year and if I survived this semester, I will be fine in the next semester. I am a bit glad the semester is going to end because of the holidays coming up!

How was the entire process of Essay 4 (research + writing)? What connections can you make between the 'change' you researched in your essay and the 'change'you have discussed with your group in the context of your Book Club?

- The process for Essay 4 wasn't too hard since I kind of broke it into parts and working on them individually and was able to bring it together into the essay like researching the topics one by one for each article and how they can come together to support the different points I was trying to make. When we discussed a 'change' in our Book Club, we talked about how the author would actually want to change. For my research, a 'change' would also be like changing the issue of domestic violence by doing something about it to help reduce the violence in the United States.

How did you write your introduction for your Problem-Solution draft? What did you make sure to include?

- I didn't have an introduction yet. I started to write a bit of my body paragraph. I did include my inquiry question at the beginning of my draft.

What is more important, the "They Say" or the "I Say"?

- I think that they are both important but the "I Say" is more important when you are writing because it is your stance on something and it is what you think - your opinions/point of view.
