Welcome

Hi! My name is Kira Archipov and I am a second year Paleontology major here at UCSB.  I enjoy dancing, hiking, and swimming.  I love the beach and my dogs.  The following page contains the work that I did over the course of a quarter during Nicole Warwick's Writing 2 class.  This portfolio consists of two writing projects, various MindMaps, my daily journal and a reflection page.  Writing project one focuses on the analysis of a Katy Perry song, "Chained to the Rhythm."  Writing project two uses grounded theory to look at how various disciplines and backgrounds view the topic of fast fashion.  The mind maps were used to map out Starting Lines essays, Writer/Designer chapters and other assigned readings.  I hope you enjoy my work!
