RJA #15: Reflection–

Over the course of this class I have learned a lot about writing, research and my topic of underage drinking.
The sections about research was of aprticular use to me. Not only did I find many new resources, but I also learned new techniques to make research more efficient and fruitful. I particularly enjoyed using the databases at the Auraria library.
Finding out about differnt styles of writing such as APA and MLA will be useful throughout my college career as I still have many more papers to write before I graduate.
Effective planning and producing outlines was a relatively new concept to me and I found it helped my writing be clearer with a clear train of though. I can use this not only in academic writnig, but in my personal life as well - writing emails etc.

RJA #14a: Application Project Progress Report

Initially I was going to write a newspaper article, but after some deliberation I decided to write an editorial piece instead. The editorial discusses how underage drinking should be approached and the best methods for doing so.
I have written the editorial but have yet to proof read it and make any corrections and improvements. I also have to write the accompanying 300 word essay about the project.
