Assignment 1: Reflecting

• Choose 3 different sentences from the readings in this module, thus far. Type the sentences now.
• Under each sentence, do a Focused Freewrite (1-2 paragraphs in length for each one).
  A Focused Freewrite is when you use a phrase or sentence from something you've read as a trigger for free-formwriting; that is, you write any thoughts, questions, or stories that come to mind as it relates to the trigger phrase or sentence.Sometimes you'll stick to the trigger topic and sometimes your mind will wander into seemingly unrelated places. Give yourselfpermission to move between "wandering" and coming back to writing about the topic.
