During this part of the project I revised my map and wrote out the memo. While completing this I was working in the same familiar spot that I always work on homework in. This familiarity helps me concentrate and get work done. This revision was different than the others because I started the memo from scratch. First thing I did before writing the memo was I gathered all my information and wrote out the bullet points which I wanted to talk about in the memo. This helps a lot because I am a very visual learner and worker. The memo took me a long time to compose. Not so much the actual writing but instead choosing the most important points to talk about. This is very difficult for me because I wanted to include so much more but I could not. After finishing the rough draft of the memo, I revised my map. In class we split up into groups of three and four and exchanged maps. This class really helped me see what the map should look like. I not only got feedback on my map but I also gave feedback to others. Giving feedback to other people honestly helped me more than I previously thought it would. I got to see how other people interpreted the map instructions. I am a very stress free person when it comes to homework. I think stress can be easily controlled especially if you start work way before the due date. There is really nothing I would like to change about my revision. I definitely think it was a good idea having another revision especially after the in class group work. Without the group work in class I would not be able to revise my map as well as I did. In conclusion my revision process was very mainly based on the criticism I received from my group members in class.
