Autoethnography?

When it came down to writing this last assignment, I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I had to write it about specific events that took place in my subculture. I knew we had to show but not tell the reader. I also knew that we had to use sensory words to take place of the "be" verbs.

I had my topic, I had ideas, but when it came to writing my paper, I went brain dead. I was writing my paper and all I could think about is desribing my topic without showing why I was apart of that subculture. Looking at the word autoethnography messed me up enough. I understood what it meant after we went over it in class. Writing the paper. . . . way more difficult than I thought it would be. I sat down to write, my mind raced, I couldn't understand how to use sensory words, even after doing a few examples in class.

Once I got my peer response sheet back, it just proved my point, I do not know how to write a autoethnograhy. It did give me a way better understanding how to write it, the peer response and help from Stephanie did provide me a better understanding into revising my sheet. Which I still need to do for tomorrow's class.
