Unit 2 portfolios

Taking time to recollect on my performance for Unit 2, I realized I spent a lot of time on this unit. My work seems to have progressed some from the first unit, with the help of the writing center, and Mr. Lupton. Having to revamp my feeder two and my speech taught me that writing is an evolutionary process, and sometimes a road will lead you to a dead end and consequently, you will have to turn around and find a different path to follow. I felt that my speech, for the most part, went well. I did a lot of research and rehearsed it multiple times. Also, this unit provided me insight into the presidential election, and made me a more informed voter. I was never one to care for politics all that much, and through this unit, I was able to gain a better understanding of what each candidate’s platform contained. Overall, I feel that my work fits the pattern of the class (that it was better than unit one), but there are still many things I need to learn and continue to practice. I feel that this trend evolved over the second unit because we all became better adjusted to college life, the demands of each class, and the level of academic excellence of our classmates compared to that of high school.
