Reflection Entry #36 May 21 ,2009

I finally caught up to the rest of the class as my goal was to. I have roughly 1000 words and so does most of the class but I'm far from being done with my essay. The 1000 words are only the intro and my first characetristic. Today once I caught up to the class, I realized that my essay was really jumbled up. My paragraphs were very badly organized. The time periods in which every event happened in the paragraph were in the wrong order. For E.g.: the government form of tyranny was introduced before the form of obligarchy but I was in a hurry so I put it the other way around accidentally. I also accidentaly mixed up the information of Athens with that of Sparta. With all the mixing up going on I copied and pasted the text and moved it around. I also improved the sentences using more examples and I also tried my best for each paragraph to show how each characteristic interacted with the concept of Time. I tried to show how as time went by what devlopments the civilization made, etc. It' Ok if I did that today but I think it would be better if I concentrate on completing typing my text and then going beck to the text and improving as planned instead of pausing every paragraph or two and going back to the text. I also have to stay aware and not jumble up any information as I did today.
