Metacognition: Jane Eyre Writing Assignment

To me, the most important aspect of this writing assignment was working together as a group. It is a skill that we don't practice very often, and this project was a good opportunity to work on collaboration skills.

It was difficult to adapt my writing style to fit those of my group members. It's hard to mesh the ideas of three people into one coherent piece. It required more work, effort, and time than an independent writing assignment would have. But, we did manage to fight through all the distractions and create a nice transcript.

Working with other people is a skill that I wish I was better at. I know that it will become an important skill for the future and will determine any one's success. I often like to do things by myself and not have to deal with other people, but I know this is not a realistic way of thinking. I hope to change my thinking in a way so that I become more compatible with other people.

Overall, this was a good working experience and a nice way to practice our collaborating skills for the future. I believe that the learning from the writing process was of equal, if not greater importance than the intellectual learning from Jane Eyre.
