Reverse Outline Reflection
This was to reflect on the Reverse Outline we did, and honestly answer how useful we felt it was. The questions were as followed: Did writing a reverse outline help you? If so, how? If not, why do you think it wasn’t helpful? How and when might you use the Reverse Outline strategy in the future?

MMT Rationale
This was to explain our MMT (Multi-Modal Translation) and each part of the MMT itself.

Reverse Outline
This was really helpful, as it made us write 1 sentence to sum up our paragraphs in our essay. If it didn't make sense that helped us know that the paragraph might need some fixes. Not only this, but this helped for the MMT Presentation, so interactive slideshows like mine weren't so wordy and straight to the point.

Benefits of a Literature Review Reflection
This was a reflection to help us see the benefits to writing a literature review, and also to understand where we were going with our writing. The questions answered are as followed: What do you see as the benefits of a Literature Review in the Social Sciences? How does the work you are doing align with these benefits? AND What aspect or details of your Lit Review interest you the most? Why? What’s the intended point of your Lit Review? What do you need to do to bring this point to the forefront in your document?
