My thought process for writing my QE essay had the typical start that I have with any of my school projects, which goes something like this. Ok, what's the easiest way for me to get out of this assignment and the way I can do the least amount of work. That thought process quickly died, as it usually does with school projects, because I realize that in order to complete the assignment I need to do real work. This was realized by looking at the rubric. The rubric is the main thing that guides my thinking on an assignment like this, as it should be. After I read through the rubric I had to pick a question. I read through all the questions and picked the one in which I had a personal anecdote to start my essay with. I did this because only the first section was due, and I didn't think about the later parts of my essay with this question.
This ended up being a big mistake, because while I did have a strong first section, I had nothing to write for my second and third sections. After realizing this I decided to actually change my question. This was not a very difficult process I just had to add a few things to my opening. Changing my question actually made a huge difference on my thought process. It made finding sources a lot easier. After finding all my sources and incorporating them, I just had to make a strong ending. This is I did through making a claim and then also connecting the ending to my opening. Then I was done! and I was like OMG I'm like so done right now.
