Rich Text Content

Welcome to my Writing 39C ePortfolio! Throughout the quarter I have been both honing my strengths and improving upon my weaknesses as a writer by learning how to write academic papers.

Although the class theme was videogames, we were each given the freedom in choosing any social issue we wanted to write about. The issue I chose was overpopulation, which is still a debated issue. Having previously taken an environmental class, I was already aware of some of the history and adverse effects of overpopulation, but through writing the first paper, the Historical Conversations Project, I gained a deeper understanding of both the history of overpopulation and its current effects and causes. This played a large role in writing the follow up paper, the Advocacy Project in which I proposed a solution to overpopulation: space colonization.

While I pride myself in being a strong writer, Writing 39C would expose me to academic writing, a type of writing which I had previously almost no experience with. As I chronicle both my proud moments and my shameful (writing) moments, I hope you can enjoy my growth as much as I have.
