Metacognition: Jane Eyre Writing assignment.

At the start of this writing assignment, I had no idea what I was gonna write. I was expecting to let the conversation flow, and that's exactly what my group and I did. We started talking, trying to think in the mindsets of the people we were trying to represent (an academite, a producer, and Charlotte Bronte). It felt like a normal conversation, with relative flow.
It was all under the premise that the producer was trying to rewrite Jane Eyre, in a modern setting, similar the relationship between A Thousand Acres and King Lear. Although this created some motivation to keep the conversation going, the conversation seemed restricted to only this topic, if only slightly.
I didn't really have any major change of thought about Jane Eyre, the novel, by doing this project. The things I said in the transcript were ideas I had already concluded to, and nothing particularly mind-blowing arose from the conversation, as we were most concerned with the problem of talking to the producer about a 21st century Jane Eyre.
Besides these minor setbacks, I thought the project had relative success, and It gave me a concise reorganizing of the thoughts I had about the novel within the boundaries of the prompt assigned.
