This week I spent about 40 minutes in class attempting to fix my paper.
Then at the next class i spent about 20 revising my elizabeth paragraph in class. I spent 10 minutes rereading through my prologue and the revision notes you wrote on my proglogue.
I spent 20 minutes in class today brainstorming what items i was going to bring in for my paper, and what i could use to say about them.
I had trouble this week revising my Elizabeth paragraph. I felt like it was just complete crap, and no matter how i revised it i felt like it was crap.. There for, i lost interest on trying to fix it. Not a good sign. Also, to be honest. This week i had the biggest test so far in my life in biology. 8 chapters. I was VERY stressed out about that, and i spent most of my focus time on that.
Honestly, I should have put more effort into my Elizabeth paragraph. Now i know that i'm just going to have to work extra hard when i revise it. I have good evidence, just the description sucks. Maybe working on my own will make it easier to think about how to link my examples together. Any now that my test is over, i wont be so stressed out every free second i have.
I understand T. E. D. method.. i just have trouble linking D's to the E's.

weekly reflection
This week I spent 15 minutes revising my summary.
I spent 25 minutes doing the in the book reading assigned for monday
I spent 20 minutes braingstorming what to write about elizabeth, then trying to think of how to link the ideas together.
I will spend one hour working on my paragraph for elizabeth. (after i submit this)
I will spend probably 30 minutes revising for rough draft due monday (after i submit this)
It took me forever to read the in book assignment, even though it was short, because my friend kept texting me while i was reading, and it seemed like as soon as i put my phone down from my reply they would text me back ,it was a never ending process, eventually i just stopped texting.
I'm not really sure if i know how to put together the paragraph about Elizabeth. I have my information written down, I'm just not so sure how to organize it. Actually, I dont even know where to begin. Topic sentence : Elizabeth is a loving person, or something relatively close to that. My facts are detailed explanations about Elizabeths pictures, things people wrote in her yearbook, and letters from friends. So those are my three catagories. I think I just use my examples to explain those three things.
I really shouldn't have even started texting while i was trying to do my homework, but its just a bad habbit. I would of been done with everything so much faster though. I understood the reading that was assigned this week. The problem with the assignment is I just dont know exactly how to even start it :S. What if my reasons aren't a good enough for what I choose?
Do i literally say I know elizabeth is a loving person because you can tell in every picture. In one picture she is holding a baby and smiling, you can tell she cares about the child. In the picture with her friends, shes laughing and holding on to them. Stuff like that?
I'm not sure what my exact thing about Elizabeth is. I don't know how to describe exactly what i want to say. I know shes a really good friend, a loving person, has always been there for her friends. How do I sum that up all in one sentence?
