Paper run-thru experience

The paper run-thru experience is definitely worth the time for students. I believe that this is a great opportunity for students because it helps us realize how organization and brainstorming could ultimately help us write the best possible essay we are capable of. I have learned that it shouldn't take 5 minutes to find a thesis statement, it should almost take up to an hour. Writing a mind map and exploring every possible route to write a topic will help specialize your thesis. Also, researching is a huge step in the paper run-thru process because this is a step that most students put the least amount of effort in. The run-thru helps this process because it makes us think about which and why the resources are the ones we chose. There are so many different types of resources that we could use and the paper run-thru helps us think outside the box. This has helped me immensely because I have realized that rushing to find a thesis will only make my essay worse. Also, it takes a lot longer to write the essay if you have an undeveloped thesis statement. If there was one thing I would change about this assignment, it would be to actually find sources. Instead of just saying what source we will find, we should actually show you a source.
