I will be present a 2:30 minute ad released by Bernie Sanders. This is a rough outline, and doesn't really follow the format we've discussed, but I feel like it shows my thought process. It lists most of the topics and details I plan on discussing.

Diagnostic Writing
As a writer, I have certain qualities I'm proud of, and some that I believe could use some further development. My writing tends to be well-composed, considering my vocabulary and grammatical understanding. I have also been given an award for my poetry: I believe this shows I'm very capable of conveying strong emotion through my writing, as well as producing works that people can understand. Something I know I need to practice is writing in a more condensed form, because I often take too much time elaborating on my thoughts, rather than just getting straight to the point (which is very important in professional writing). A skill I'd like to gain from this class is an understanding of how people in various professions have to conduct professional works: the varying styles, how they must cite sources, etc. I'd like to learn how to write in more contexts than I currently am familiar with.
books that impacted me
Some piece of literature that has had a significant impact on my life began effecting me at a very young age. When I was about 7 or 8, my mom bought me some books about Ancient Egypt that were writing by some old professors with fancy names. I was fascinated by Ancient Egypt in every respect, so I was eager to dive into these books, which certainly seemed like a challenging read for a young child. However, I made in through them. These books made my vocabulary and literary comprehension expand, and it really was what sparked my love for history in the context of actually studying it, and using my knowledge as a means of making a living.
