"Sow now, reap later"
That would be a better quotation for our English 2 class where we are required to do a lot of writing activities. And one of this writing stuffs is the term paper. in fact, we already started to find several references in our individual topics.
Though I had an experience with this term paper writing in high school, I would say that it was not good enough. Ma'am Lynnie proved me a lot of things. First, a term paper should not be a "work of quotations." I mean, we should cite quotations appropriately. unlike to my high school paper where I Frequently quoted words from my sources. Second, it should be specific. What happened to my term paper then was a great mess. It was so broad that I need to search and encode overnight in the internet cafe. And I did it weekly!
And now, we are making individual term papers, which is related to our course. This thing would help us greatly for our future academic works. As an education student, where I am required with so many writing stuffs these info's from ma'am wuold help me. I would say that this term paper activity, is a healthy seed we sowed and we will reap its usefulness in future needs.
