Starting to create my ePortfolio and looking back at the artifacts that I had used throughout the process really helped me reflect on my journey. It allowed me to see the progress I have made throughout the quarter and made me proud of my work. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

When creating a portfolio of your works, it is important to have a variety of artifacts showcasing your journey, and captioning them. On top of that, it is vital that you show reflection on how you progressed throughout the process. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

Peer reviews definitely helped in the writing process. It allowed me to catch errors I hadn't seen before, and make crucial edits in my research papers. Peer feedback allowed me to look over my writing once more not as a writer but a reader. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Peer reviews are also another important step in the research process. A writer wouldn't realize many things that could be improved in their work many times, so it is important that others can look over and give feedback before you finalize anything. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

Before using Twitter for this class, I rarely used it. I didn't know how incredible this platform was in advocating for change. So many urgent issues are going on in the world and I am amazed this platform allows for us to be more aware. @39CSustain #39CSustain #WhatILearnedin39C

[Joanne Tran @Ello_Jo_39C]

#WhatILearnedIn39C was that Twitter is an incredible platform for animal advocates like me. Awareness can be spread so rapidly & so easily with the click of a button, & with so many urgent matters in the animal world that need attention, this aspect of Twitter becomes quite handy

Following those who had the same topic as me also allowed me to expand my knowledge on this issue. I was able to see news articles I had not known of and useful information that I could incorporate within my own paper. @39CSustain #39CSustain #WhatILearnedin39C

[Esther Kim @estheerkimm]

Seeing fellow classmate's posts and seeing I wasn't alone was encouraging and inspiring. I was able to learn not only about my own topic, but other environmental issues that were going on in the world as well! @39CSustain #39CSustain #WhatILearnedin39C

I want to say thank you to every member of this 39C family. Thanks for all your inspiration, thanks for all your well-organized blogs, and thanks for this 10-week journey. I will keep paying attention to animal science in the future.

As a writer, I learned to find my own voice and incorporate them effectively into my writing. Strengthening my analysis skills, constantly asking questions, and using more powerful language allowed me to do so.

I have also improved greatly as a researcher and writer, learning that a variety of sources are necessary: NOGA. I also learned effective ways to google and search up topics through specific keywords and other resources.

[Esther Kim @estheerkimm]

Overall however, I learned that to help solve environmental issues, everyone needs to contribute and education is key. Everyone has responsibility to keep the environment clean, as we all contributed to destroying it.

Writing 39C was a class that but increased my awareness on a variety of climate issues. Mostly researching in depth about microplastic, I learned most about the issue of plastic and it’s detrimental effects. @39CSustain #39CSustain #WhatILearnedin39C

Sign this plastic petition to support WWF and stop plastic pollution in the oceans. It calls for a global legally binding agreement across all countries to help stop this plastic crisis. @39CSustain #39CSustain #TakeAction #Plastic

This section of my AP is strong as it is directly relevant to today’s society and the impact of Covid. The use of plastic is increasing, the Plastic Industry Association claiming it is “the safest choice.” @39CSustain #39CSustain

I really liked this quote that I used as my pull quote. It accurately describes how many countries were impacted by China’s ban of waste imports and introduces the flaws of countries’ response to the issue, and how the bill will positively address the situation.
@39CSustain

[Esther Kim @estheerkimm]

The introduction of my AP consists of background information about microplastic and how it impacts the world. It sets up the entire AP and shows how imperative it is for there to be a solution. @39CSustain
