Reflection on Bacon's Rebellion

When the assignment was first given to us, it was a little overwhelming cause I knew we were writing on the event, but I thought it was more retelling the story type thing where we were supposed to be detailed dates and a deep discussion on the story. This way everyone's essay would be very similar. When Craig presented how the thesis would be set up, I began to understand more of how we were picking an aspect of the Rebellion and making up our own thesis that we would answer in our essay. 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.
