What are you most proud of in this essay?
- To be quite honest I'm proud that I got it done, it may not be the best but then again it was also my first ever research paper I have had to write.  I am also pretty proud of my overall message behind the essay.

What would you change or add in the essay if you were given more time?
- I would honestly read through it again and make sure that the grammar and sentences flow well.

Considering all of the steps we took, which one benefitted you the most?

In terms of writing and the topic of your essay, what did you learn?
- Well, I learned how to write a research essay, along with a few facts about makeup that I hadn't known before hand.

If you could, what would you change about this assignment?
- If I could change something about this assignment it would be the type of essay written.  I would essentially want to change it to a more informative essay besides argumentative.

Project 2 Reflection

1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper.

This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high school. This paper was more formal than other research papers I have written.
