Hey guys! I'm back. I have officially finished my first paper for my project. Yay! The writing of my personal narrative went very smooth. I would say it's a pretty well written paper, but I also get a little overconfident sometimes. That doesn't necessarily mean that I did a terrible job. Before I finalized my paper, I had my language teacher look over it and give me feedback on my writing. The feedback that I got back was very good. The only that I need to work on and improve is my sentencing structure, but other then that it was very well put together. Here is a link to my personal narrative because I did say that you guys could read it. Hope you like it!
Now that my narrative paper is done, I will be moving on to my informative paper. I think this paper will come along just as easy as my narrative paper did. I just have to find a topic that really interests me. Once I find my topic for my informative paper, I will have to research about my topic and find as much credible information as possible. I'm determined to learn as much as possible about my topic so that I can clearly inform you on that certain topic. Notice that I said inform, because that's what an informative paper is all about. You are essentially just researching a topic and telling people about your findings.
Well now that I've told you what I am currently working on, you might want to try it a little yourself. Here is a little about how to write informatively. Hopefully this is helpful to those of you who would like to learn how to write informatively.

Learning Process
Second blog post and I've made some progress. It turns out that I didn't start out with writing an informative paper. So far, I've only leaned how to write a narrative. I felt that it was necessary to only focus on one thing at a time so I don't get myself confused and I don't stress myself out with all the information. Also a narrative is harder to write, I think. You have to put so much more thought into it and really think about what you're writing.
I have chosen to write a personal narrative, which is just what it sounds like. Its basically just your own thoughts on the topic you are writing about. You could write about anything really, because most of it is just thought. You are really just writing your thoughts on paper but making it into a paper that flows well and makes sense. We all know that when we think things in our head they don't always make sense, well sure they make sense to you but nobody thinks the same so your thinking might not make any sense to anyone else, so that's why you have to write it in a way that makes sense and a way that whoever reads your paper, will understand.
The topic that I chose to write about was family. As in, what family means to you. I'm not going to go into detail about it because I'll do that when I write the paper. And yes, of course you'll get to read it, don't worry. As of right now, I have started writing my personal narrative an I am almost done with that, then I will be moving on to my next writing topic, which is informative writing, and then eventually developing a paper from that too. I plan on only researching two topics instead of four so that I can fully understand the concept of each one and not overwhelm myself.
Down below is a little snip-it of my Creaza page where all my research is. I know it doesn't look like a lot, but most of the information I need to write my paper are on the websites that are linked to each style of writing I am researching.

Passion Project Information
Hey everyone! Over the course of this blog I will be informing you about my current passion project. My passion project that I will be focusing on over the next couple of months will be creating writing pieces from four different styles of writing. I found that the writing process came really easy to me. I chose to look more into writing because I feel that it will help me in the future with school, especially when I have to write college essays.
I will be researching four different styles of writing and will find credible sources for my research. In future blog posts I will show my research and eventually little parts of the papers I will be writing. Source to informative writing.This website consists of general information on how to write informatively. This will help me layout a basic structure of how to write an informative paper. Then once I create the basic structure for my paper, I will start the writing process and my end product will be a paper over a topic that I am interested in.
In order to not lose track of any of my research, I am currently using Creaza to organize my information so I don't get overwhelmed with my information. Creaza allows me to create notes on my topics and keep track of my websites as well. In order to avoid plagiarism, I will be paraphrasing and quoting my research as I go along. I will also be interpreting my research as I go along the process, in order to better my understanding. I'm eager to start my research and see how everything turns out!
