Understanding the first paper assignment

 Group summary- After discussing the first paper assignment within our group, our understanding of what we are supposed to do is that we must write about an actual educational experience from our past. The paper is looking for createive or formal ways that we learned a skill or knowledge. That as a story the focus should be on our feelings and opinions, we should also be sure to include as many vivid details and thoughts that support our paper as we can. Including these details and thoughts will help make your experience believable. These details need to be clear and relevant. We believe that in order to obtain a good grade on our first paper we will need to follow this criteria and follow the necessary guidelines. We should also make sure to follow the MLA format and stay between 1,200 and 1,500 words. Some questions we should ask ourselves before beginning is who is our audience? will my paper be compelling? Will they understand my thesis/topic? Is my topic/thesis strong enough?
