Essay 3

In my opinion this is the hardest portfolio of the year. To start picking a topic is incredibly difficult because this is the first time in most of your lives where you can write about anything. My advice is to make sure you like the topic. Nothing is worse that writing about a boring topic and with such a free reign, anythings possible. An easy way to solve this problem is to write about something within your major. You will be killing two birds with one stone and learning some new stuff along the way. I have already spoke about my feelings and advice for the research process and you can find them in the previous post. Next for most of you this is the first time you have to write an annotative bibliography. This is not as difficult as you think, think simple. The key part of the annotative bibliography is the briefness of it. If you have no intention of using parts of the source, don't talk about those parts or find a new source that you use all of. Like most things in this class its the stress that gets you, if you relax you are made in the shade. Then you just need to write. Let your research do the talking, its hopefully more intelligent than you. Lastly you are in the revision process and it becomes just like any other essay you have edited.If you find yourself still alive after the essay is done, consider it a win.
