Failed Colonies Essay
This is probably one of my best examples for inquiry thinking skills. Originally, this paper was an accumulation of many primary sources, and much analysis and annotations. We researched failed colonies for a good two weeks, and this combined all that research. The first time I wrote my paper, I received a 7/9, which doesn't seem that bad, but given the fact that I want to be a writer, a 7/9 doesn't cut it. It took me a good while to re-analyze my quotes and sources, and had to eventually just toss out all my old information for one of the paragraphs. In the end, though, I received a 9/9 on my rewritten paper, which I was incredibly happy with, knowing that this was one assignment I would need to know how to accomplish in the future.
