<span data-contrast=”auto”> </span><span data-contrast=”auto”>What Do I Know About Writing?</span><span data-ccp-props=”{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559685":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":480}”> </span>
<span data-contrast=”auto”>Writing this Inquiry based essay was a little different than what I am used to since I had to interview someone and incorporate their answers into my writing. This made me sit down and think awhile of how I was going to start off my essay and when exactly I would start talking about the information I retrieved from the interview. To be honest, I had to change the topic of my writing many times because I felt like I couldn’t do this essay if it wasn’t on </span><span data-contrast=”auto”>something</span><span data-contrast=”auto”> I was genuinely interested it. My final choice when it came to the topic was Teen depression since it was something I was going through and I was interested in since I didn’t really like to talk about it out loud. </span><span data-ccp-props=”{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559731":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":480}”> </span>
<span data-contrast=”auto”>My audience is any who is lacking information on depression but it specifically targets adults so that they may notice signs of depression in teens faster so that they can get the necessary help while also pinpointing some specific things that could contribute to the worsen of the adolescents condition. . The language I used was as if I was having a conversation and I purposely left out big scientific terms because I wanted this to be a writing that anyone can understand regardless of education level. The tone on the other hand was a little scientific and straightforward because I still wanted the viewer to know a couple facts so that it can clearly depict just how much depression is growing in our generation.</span><span data-ccp-props=”{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559731":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":480}”> </span>
<span data-contrast=”auto”>My writing changed a great deal from august because I started </span><span data-contrast=”auto”>using a brainstorming map before writing in order to write down as many ideas in my head as possible before I do a process of elimination in order to find the most interesting main idea that I could potentially write the most about. If the main idea is weak then I cannot write much about it and then the writing would end up very tedious since I’m stuck writing about something that doesn’t have much depth to it. Another new thing that I learned that completely changed my writing is peer review. This allowed for the me to see my writing in a different lens while also giving me a way to change my writing because looking at my peers way of writing can give me new ideas on how to structure my writing or just how to better explain and get my point across.</span><span data-ccp-props=”{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559731":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":480}”> </span>
<span data-contrast=”auto”>Something that was the same with this essay was the researching aspect but this time I had to do an interview. When I did the interview and made my observations based on the person’s responses, this gave me an idea of how to do focused researched on what I need to write my inquiry-based essay. I could ask pivotal questions and get the information needed without really being bias because I was taking the words right form the horse’s mouth. Also, I had to choose carefully with who I was going to interview since everyone has a different experience with depression. My interviewee was around the same age as me and we went through similar issues so I was able to resonate with him on a deeper level, while also being invested in the interview much more than I initially thought possible.</span><span data-ccp-props=”{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559731":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":480}”> </span>
<span data-contrast=”auto”>When I was finally ready to start writing I was able to put my ideas together quickly.</span><span data-contrast=”auto”> </span><span data-contrast=”auto”>My topic was about something that I was invested in, so it was easy to fix my ideas together in my head. It’s easy to write and make focused decisions about what type of research you want in your writing when you relate so closely to the topic. The thing that had me stump for a while was incorporating the feedback of the peer review in my writing. The way I ended up editing my writing was that I made focused changes to individual sections of my writing rather than just starting all over because I feel like if I started over then the writing will become a completely different entity than when it was originally written. To someone who is reading my drafts might think that I haven’t made big changes but in my opinion, I feel like I strengthen the writing by making each part stronger by making small changes in either the language or idea of the section I was editing.</span><span data-ccp-props=”{"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559731":720,"335559739":160,"335559740":480}”> </span>
