2. Have your ideas about the writing process changed this semester? If so, in what ways?

3. Discuss one of your final pieces in terms of audience. Who (this might be a specific group of people or a specific person—for instance, Idahoans or my teenager or — or a group of people in general—smokers, people who don’t think animals have feelings, Idahoans, etc) did you have in mind when writing and how did this effect your writing and revision process?
4. Discuss how your use of sources in your Curiousity Log piece effected your thinking about your topic.
Beyond this, I’ve come up with some things you may want to consider, but they are optional suggestions only intended to inspire your pen. Feel free to explore other aspects of your writing if you wish.
