Self Assessment Reflection

My goals were to get an answer to my inquiry question through research and finding sources to answer or support that claim. For the paper, my goal was to inform someone about the effects of stereotypes in movies and music on Black students in education in the real world. I am somewhat close to reaching my goals but I have to close it up by connecting all of my sources to answer my question and show to my readers what I was trying to inquire about.I was struggling with time on developing this paper because of my busy schedule with the basketball team. I really liked the fact that I got to workshop my drafts in class and got to see what my peers thought of my work and what I could improve on or need to change. During class time, I could really focus on the task at time because the distractions were at a minor.I see that my writing is changing gradually because I am starting to get out of that traditional form of writing in a set structure. I am able to organize my writing but not writing in "blocks". I appreciate the help I received from Megan and the inquiry groups i was apart of who helped me out during workshops. As I progress, I learned that I am getting better at organizing my thoughts and I am getting better at analyzing what the author wants the reader to know form reading their work. The hardest part of this paper was trying to find sources that connect with one another to answer one main question. My paper is and informational paper so there is no back-and-forth of opinions through the texts so I decided to build my answer with foundational text that leads into what my inquiry question is asking.
