Choice

My choice project is a brochure. This brochure will be based on my research project; the conquistadors' treatment of the Native Americans. I will make this a brochure by featuring each individual conquistador and giving some information on each one. Then I will say what effect this treatment had on the Native Americans. My goal is to say this in a way like you're visiting Spain and are going to each 'monument' for the conquistadors. This will tie into my portfolio by following the instructions posted on Canvas.

My Strengths as a Writer

After reading the instructions for this assignment, I immediately thought of voice/tone as a strength of mine. I feel like when I read my own writing it sounds like me, not just some random writer. I have been reading my blog posts and noticed this. I even got my friends to read a couple of my blog posts and they agreed that they all showed tone and voice. Another strength of mine is audience. I think that I can change my writing styles depending on who my audience or target audience is. A splendid example of this is my research project. I read the comments on my paper and saw that I did well with audience. My final strength is staying with my genre. I think this is probably everyone's strength because it's just staying on topic.

My Weaknesses as a Writer

For my weaknesses, I'd have to start with citations. I have always hated doing citations because I just don't think that they only need to be written down once at the end of a paper. And with all these in-text citations being introduced this year, I have found myself annoyed because I don't know why I need to repeatedly cite the same sources repeatedly. This is evident in my research paper. I could have easily gotten an A on the paper if I had paid more attention to my citations. My other weakness is finding a good topic. This is a bit specific, but there have been multiple situations where I've had to change my writing topic after starting my rough draft because I have trouble finding solid topics I can write papers on. A great example of this is my poetry writing assignment. I had completed my rough draft, printed it out, and read it. But after I read it, I realized that the poem was weak, so I had to change my topic when I was almost finished with the assignment...
