12) Formal Assignment #2. A Reflection. [Categories: Reflection]: Please complete the following:
Throughout this blog post I am going to be reflecting on my writing process for my classes second formal assignment. For our second formal assignment we had to write a research paper. We had to choose a topic that was discussed in the documentary Where to Invade Next. Before writing my last blog post and this one I watched a short video that explained the process of reflective writing. It made sure to point out the very three important steps. The first step was looking back on the event, but also making sure to remember to think about what you were thinking and feeling during this event. The second step is analyzing what happened. The third step is projecting into the future and seeing how this past event can be worked on or help you later. For my research paper I choose to write about America’s educational system compared to Finland’s educational system. I argued that we should try and model our teaching styles and systems off of Finland’s. For this paper I worked with the help of many academic journals and articles, Michael Moore’s Where to Invade Next Documentary, and feedback from my professor. With the help of all these sources I believe I wrote an informative and persuasive paper. I wrote this paper many different places. I wrote some at home in bed, some at school in between my classes and some during class. With a research paper I would love to just be able to sit down and write it all out but that just does not seem feasible. It is something that needs to be done over time and with a busy schedule like mine there not much time to do it in one place. I definitely still procrastinated with this project but not nearly as much as I did with the last formal assignment. I choose this topic because I myself would like to go into teaching and throughout my school years I feel I was taught with a “teaching to the test” approach. With this project I will continue to work on it. I believe learning more about Finland’s teaching style can help me figure out how I would like my teaching style to be.
