Timed Writing - Investigation 0
For this assignment we had one class period to review a few documents with text and data from 1800 up to the present day. We were handed a graphic organizer to write down notes and key details from each document. The documents covered a variety of topics such as life expectancy, CO2 emissions, inventions created in the past 200 years, death rates caused by disease, and more. On the second day the prompt for the essay was revealed and we had one hour and thirty minutes to write a 5 paragraph essay using the information we gathered the day before. Our essay was to respond to the question “to what extent has the Modern Revolution been a positive or a negative force?”

The graphic organizer was a great help and I’m proud that on day one I spent time carefully breaking down each worksheet and taking the information I thought would be useful for my essay. Throughout this project I used my 21st century information skill to gather the necessary information and key details to build my essay. I used the charts, evidence, statistics, and text to support my claim. Due to this being my second time doing this assignment, I felt more confident doing the tasks again but I believe this topic was more difficult than the last about WWI. If I could do this assignment again I would go back and spend a bit more time revising my paper. I had some extra time at the end and instead of going back to make changes I left it as it was and I could have put in a bit more effort. Overall, I am very proud of my essay and the grade I received.
