METHODS part 1

Submitted by cslavin on Tue, 02/12/2019 - 16:18

I walked from the front entrance of Morril 3 down the stair case that was slightly to my left and I then crossed the street. Once on the sidewalk, I turned right. After taking 8 steps, I veered left and walked down the hill towards a tree. I positioned myself facing the side of the tree that was labled "black oak". I then took a step to my left and squatted down about six inches from the tree. Keeping my back at a 90 degree angle to the ground, I took a picture of the moss holding my camera tilted downward at about a 45 degree angle. I then stood back up and took half a step to my right. Still about 6 inches away, I took a picture of the tree with the left edge of the "black oak" sign lining up with middle of the camera screen and vertically centered. I then squatted back down and took a close up picture of the brightest section of moss right in front of me. I took this picture with the camera about 1 inch away from the tree.

I think re-reading your methods might be a good idea to find little mistakes here and there. For example, there is a spelling mistake in the first sentence where it should say "Morrill" instead of "Morril".

I would reword the first sentence so it flows better. Expository writing is typically to the point. Instead, try: "I walked from the front entrance of Morrill III down the lefthand staircase and then crossed the street." Also, punctually, you should include the period inside of the quotation mark, so instead of "...oak". it should be "...oak."

I feel like you should specify what camera you used if it was your phone camera or just a regular camera. Not that it's a huge deal but that's just my suggestions.
