Essay 1 Reflection

When we first started researching Bacon's Rebellion, I had no idea it was for a research paper. At first I thought all the research we did was unnecessary because after the wiki entry, reading in the history book, and the many articles about the rebellion was kind of too much just for one event in history. After the examples of how our thesis was going to be put together, everything kind of clicked and I understood why we were doing so much research, because our analysis wouldn't have been as deep and thought out with out knowing all the background information that we did first.I really liked the templates from the They Say, I Say book. They really helped me to develop my paper and make it my own and being organized at the same time. All the rough drafts and revisions we did was a lot of help to develop my paper. All the researching we did before about the event also was an excellent contribution.
