Time Travelers Final Draft Reflection Q&A

Q: What did you learn?
A: From this project, I learned how to write footnotes. I have never used them before, and didn't entirely know what their purpose was. Now I know, and if I ever write a 1000-page novel like J.R.R. Tolkien did, I can be cool and have footnotes instead of a giant bibliography at the end.
Q: What challenges did you encounter?
A: I encountered the challenge of not knowing what to do in the case of not getting outside critique. I found out that it is possible for me to critique my own stuff. For example, I can go farther in depth in things that are to short, and vice-versa to things that are droning on.
Q: What would you do the same or different?
A: Well, I would definitely try to find more and different sources. I only listed about 3 sources, and 2 of them were internet websites. I can always use newspapers, magazines, books, and internet to my advantage.
Q: How will this help you later?
A: Well, because I learned how to really use transitions in my writing, I can use this in a lot of research papers that we'll have to do later in the year and later in high school and college. Of course, they'll be thicker and more complex, but this was a good start!
