One project that underwent several changes was my proposal and annotated bibliography. It was born out of Blog Post #7, a post in which I researched an article relating to Frankenstein titled “The Monster in a Dark Room: Frankenstein, Feminism, and Philosophy” and the potential arguments I would make with it. However, I still had ideas that I jotted down on my computer, from class discussion points that stuck with me to ideas swirling in my head, that I wanted to explore. In order to contemplate these ideas, I met with my professor outside of class and bounced ideas off of her until we finally came to a solid idea with which I could manage. When I began my proposal, I still had to contemplate which ideas I had accumulated with my professor were cohesive and formed a proper argument. To aid with this, I began researching sources before completing my proposal. As I researched sources, I developed arguments and counterarguments that I could potentially use, then cited them and annotated them as I incorporated them into my proposal. The proposal itself slowly focused in on what I wanted to write about, but even when I finished some things still weren’t clear. I had been sure to focus on writing techniques that we had discussed in class, such as a “They say, I say” statement for my objective, but peer-reviews allowed me to see what I needed to clear up for my rough draft. My professor also gave me feedback independent of my peers, which highlighted other aspects of my proposal that were good and that were needing revision. This one project was a long process, but was necessary in the scheme of my final paper.
