<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I was able to collect enough information on the WNBA. The only road bump I hit was, finding people to take responsibility for the work. From my background information about the WNBA, I knew what they were saying was correct, however I couldn't use it.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">How much information did you collect? How easy or hard was it to find information? **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I found learning about how the players interact with each other to be fun/ funny. By the end of the season, they all turn into a family and love each other like one.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Why? The most fun or interesting? Why? **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I discovered that I was strong in making things appealing to the eye. Even though the information might at times might be boring like the player stats. I was able to make them look a little less boring with the way I set up the page. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">For this last reflection, you should choose  four of the nine questions listed here: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Why did you choose your topic? Are you still happy with your choice? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">What goals did you have for your research? Did you meet those? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">What facts about your topic interested you most? Did this kind of project help you get a better understanding of your topic than you might have with a more traditional kind of research paper? If so, why and in what ways did it help? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">How much information did you collect? How easy or hard was it to find information? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">What did you learn about the research process from this project? Consider: the best places to find certain kinds of information; what sources are most credible; the best order for conducting your investigation; how to record information and sources; anything else that you learned or that confirmed what you already knew. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">What strengths did you use as a writer in this project? What new strengths did you discover? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">What criteria did you use in deciding on the genres to include in your paper? What piece was the hardest or most challenging to write? Why? The most fun or interesting? Why? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">How did you decide on the organization of the pieces into a cohesive whole? Consider not only organization but use of transitional devices and packaging. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">What did you learn by working with your peers on revising and editing? Did they give you helpful advice? What was most helpful to you? What kinds of things did you learn from reading their pieces? ||
