Metacognition: Jane Eyre Writing Assignment

While writing my part for Jane Eyre, I had to think of it almost as a script. I first really needed the name of my person (I was the academy student) and I needed the personality. Once I had the name, I began outlining the kind of person the student was going to be. I made her attitude so it clashed a bit with the publisher's and Charlotte's. Then, as I started writing, I had to read and reread the statement beforehand, then decide how I would respond, and then shift that response to the eyes of the student. Once I had written it, I edited each part very carefully and used words that gave the person character. At the end, I looked over the whole thing to make sure everyone's part worked with each other in the dialogue. If it didn't, there were certain places where I edited. In the end, I was happy with what I had done with my character and the whole conversation.
