       One subject that I could possibly write about is my story of how I found out I was pregnant. The two things that it would be about is when I was on the cheerleading team and me being pregnant. I would start the story off by talking about when I first noticed that my cheerleading uniform was getting too small and after every work out session and practice I still wasn't losing any weight. Then it would all lead up to me findind out that I was pregnant. That would be the climax and I would bring it back down and talk about cheerleading again and getting kicked off the team.

       Another subject I could write about is when we thought my brother got shot. The two subjects that the story would be about is the fact that it was new years eve and me and my friends were going out, and the fact that I got a phone call saying my brother got shot. The climax of the story would of course be about that phone call and I will end it talking about how it ended up not being true.

       I could also possibly write about almost losing my housing a month n a half before school starting. The two parts of my story would be about me being at orientation and me losing my housing. The climax of the story would be when I found out I had nowhere to stay anymore. The climax of the story would be when I called to make sure everything was all good with my apartment because I haven't heard anything. This all happened while at orientation and if I wasn't there I wouldn't have called to check. The story would end by me getting the housing back right on time.

       Also, I could write about studying for midterms and my grandpa passing that same week. So those would be the two things and I would start out by saying how stressful it was to study fo those midterms and then the climx would be finding out that he died and everything leading up to that. Then I would end the story by telling how I passed my midterms and how I coped with handling all that news and everything else.

       The last subject I could write about would have to be when my ex-boyfriend didn't get me anything for my birthday. Not that I'm a materialistic person but he told me what he had got me. The two things in this story would be the fact that it was my birthday and I was excited to get the gift and the fact that he didn't he call to tell me happy birthday. I had to call him. I would talk about everyhting leadding up to that point and what was said. The end of the story would be telling about how that was the end of that relationship, because of everything he said what the reason was.

         I am really glad we did this ARP workshop, I thought it was very helpfull. Being the reviewer was actually harder to me than being reviewed. I think this because I am not a good writer so I usually don't like critiquing someone else's paper not really knowing what I'm talking about. It did help me become a better peer editor though. I know know alot of the problems to look for and even though I didn't correct everything I think that I did a good job. What I didn't like about being the reviewer is that we had to keep talking the whole time. Even though our group members would say alot of what I wanted to say we would still just repeat alot of the same comments.
         What I enjoyed about being reviewed on is that I got to hear what everyone thought about my paper. Even though I didn't agree at times it was still interesting. I actually thought it was kind of funny not to be able to talk. I understand that it so you can listen to what they are telling you but some things were stuff that needed to be explained. That is what I did not like about the review process, the fact that we couldn't defend ourselves. Other than all of that I really found this helpfull and I am happy we did this.

        At first I was so lost trying to figure out how to make a reenactment of my primary source and as I read a few others I realized it was simply an analysis. I've noticed a couple people are also a little confused just like I was but instead of them figuring it out before it was due they just said forget it and did anything. You can tell the difference between the people who did anything and the people who actually knows what they are doing, and if there paper will turn out right. Some students just simply summarized their primary source and what they plan to do but didn't actually do a reenactment of it. While a couple others took someone elses reenactment and explained what it was about.
       For the most part most students have their primary source and have a really good one at that. I really loved the ones who drew pictures because not only is that showing their creativity but it also showed a visual image of their primary source and I really like that, too bad I can't draw one bit. So overall some people have a little work to do and hopefully they know by now and other people are doing really good and I am anxious to read the papers.
