Right before spring break, I completed my first complete rough draft. It felt very satisfying to complete a good rough draft. I am working on strengthening my main argument by digging deeper into the analysis of my oral histories and primary sources. Also, just getting better at explaining my thought process and reasoning. Since I've worked on this project for so long, some details are so obvious to me. I am working on making my writing more detailed and accessible.
Overall, I am really excited about completing my thesis and my poster session. I am looking forward to the poster session because I love to share my thoughts with the public. I also hope to get more feedback in the coming weeks. I haven't got a lot of engagement on my blog, but a significant amount on Facebook. I love sharing local histories and engaging people. I hope my thesis can help preserve the memory of The Castle on the Hill and help local historical societies.
Below is a picture I am planning on using for my poster session.
