1. Preparing my assignment in crayon was different than the ways I usually prepare a paper. I wrote the paragraphs on another sheet of paper in pencil before writing on the bigger page. Although my way of preparation was changed, I did not find myself thinking differently. I tried to come up with as many ideas as possible before writing the final copy. Writing is crayon was much more difficult than writing in pencil or pen. Despite the difficulty writing, I kept all of my sentences that I had planned to write.
3. If a culture used crayons as their only writing implements, their culture would be different than ours. They would most likely be more creative and possibly happier. The colors chosen by the different authors could reflect their mood or the mood of the piece. The culture would be most proud of their style and capability to write despite the difficulty of writing with a crayon. They may consider some signs of intellectual prowess to be color, style, creativity, and length of the piece.
4. Writing in crayon was hard for me. I enjoyed the idea of it, but once I had to write paragraphs I got frustrated with the difficulty of writing with the crayons.
When you review your post above, count how frequently you resort to choosing words like "different" and "difficult." Reconsider such vagaries; instead try to give the reader a better sense of the kind of difference you encountered or the degree of difficulty you felt.

Sometimes.
I agree with Professor Lay that different and unusual word choices would make your response richer, but I really liked how you answered the questions.
