A13.5: Week 13 Reflection

Aims and Objectives:

My goals for this week were:

• To review my previous work and make improvements.
• To organize my multigenre research project.
• To create my reference page for my project.

Declarative Knowledge:

This week I learned a new way to revise papers.  It is called the SCAR method.  I think that it is very interesting and it really helped me improve upon my work.  I worked on my reference page and learned more about APA format.  I think that this is really helpful.  I also learned how to organize a table of contents for my page.

Procedural Knowledge:

To create the table of contents I logged on to my wordpress account.  I went to my dashboard and clicked write.  I then clicked write page.  I wrote the page and added the links by clicking the chain after highlighting the words that would contain the link.  I also made the table of contents the parent page for all of my MRP.  I did this by clicking on my previous work in manage and selecting the table of contents as the parent page.  I then went to the class website and clicked on Crissa’s link.  I reviewed her podcast by answering the questions that were posed by the instructor.  I then went back to the class website and clicked on Meredith’s link and reviewed her PowerPoint Presentation. I returned to wordpress and logged in.  I created my reference page by using the APA manual and sources that I have found while doing this assignment.  To complete the revision I printed a copy of my guest editorial.  I then went through the piece and edited it using the SCAR method.  I asked myself if words could be substituted, should I cut anything, does anything need added, and if I needed to rearrange anything.  This method really helped me improve my work.

Conditional Knowledge:

I think that learning the SCAR method will help me revise future work.  I found this method to be very effective.  It helped me make my work more cohesive and understandable.  The table of contents helped me with organization.  Learning to organize will help in school work and in my future professional life.  Learning about APA is continuous and will help me throughout my life.

Question:

I really don’t have a question about the work but since Thursday was Thanksgiving, which do you prefer turkey or ham?
