Daybook Entry January 20th, 2015
My first Daybook Entry is called Critical Thinking. To start off the semester I had no idea what critical thinking really was. Of course I have heard of it before and I think I had a brief understanding of it, but I never really completely understood the actual definition of a critical thinker. In this entry I talk about what I think a critical thinker means. I also describe what critical thinkers do and how you take the time to think about what you actually want to say/write.
I picked this entry firstly because the title is called Critical Thinking. Secondly, this entry made me think a lot about the concept of critical thinking and the purpose to be one. Since I didn't really know what a critical thinker was, I really had to think about what I was going to say.

My next Daybook Entry, which we did in class, talks about what it means to be a good writer, researcher, etc. I always hated writing or researching so when I had to write about what it means to be a good writer/researcher it was easy. I just listed the things that I don't do well when writing as things that make you a good writer/researcher.
I picked this entry because it shows me really thinking about what it means to be a good writer. This is an example of critical thinking because I took the time to write about what I felt was the best definition of a good writer.
My opinion of writing and researching has changed a little bit. I have been told that my writing and researching gas improved over the years and even though I still don't enjoy I can now tell myself that I can actually write and research anything I put my mind to.

Daybook Entry February 3rd, 2015
For my third and final daybook entry, I chose my Proposal Presentation draft. This entry connects to my line of inquiry and also explains my ideas for my blog that I did. I picked this entry because it shows how developed my thought process got when trying to think about what I wanted to talk about with my topic which was Relationships and Social Media.
This entry is an example of critical thinking because after brainstorming for this proposal presentation I had to go back and analyze the actual presentation to make it look good and improve the quality of my thinking about my line of inquiry. For example, in question number 10, it says that the only problem I might have is that I won't be able to find enough information so I had to go back to my research and try to find more information about my line of inquiry so that I would have enough.
