Review your writing

  • Did you use the word inquiry in your writing?

  • Do you have a sentence that says something like inquiry: explored my relationship with my twin sister, how are we the same, how are we different?

  • Did you reference at least 3 of your pieces? And say how those pieces connect/show your inquiry.
