Beginning with academic writing
Week 13
This week involved a lot of peer reviews and peer activities. We were divided into pairs, and we were told to review an argumentative essay. My pair and I read both versions of it and wrote down our thoughts on it. Later we were given a fun activity which was to draw a caricature of our respective partners in two minutes. I can say that I did a good job on this.

In the next class, we were taught about the design thinking process. Design thinking is an approach used for practical and creative problem-solving. Design thinking is not just limited to the design industry; it can be used in any industry.
Next, we had more fun activities like drawing things in under ten seconds. We were given five words and we had to draw whatever we remembered when we hear the word. For instance, the last word was “innovation”, to which I drew Doraemon. Next, we had to discuss with our partners what we thought of to be the “ideal pen.” we jot down each other’s ideas and drew a bit of them on paper. That concluded this week’s classes.
