reflection #11

 They Say /I say taught me that summarizing can be likened to an art form. While quotations should be framed, complete with a lead in and a follow up comment. Doing these will ensure flow into the argument as well as evidence to support said argument. When reading chapter three i felt slightly called out. They likened a sudden quote with no lead in as a "hit and run quote." I am guilty of doing this. Sometimes I would think that the quote was self explanatory. Even so, the quote deserves commentary to explain what it means, regardless of how obvious it is.

reflection #4

      This week focused a lot about rough drafts and the importance of imperfections. There is a constant thought to create something perfectly the first time within my conscience. This is the opposite case for writing. The drafts should be very rough in the beginning. The main goal is to get the words on the paper! Being a low-key perfectionist, this was difficult because if I wrote a sentence that wasn't "good", I didn't want to leave it in. When what I need to focus on is coming back to make corrections after the first draft is written.      No one is good at writing the first time. If you are, then I am jealous. First drafts are meant to be rough. I need to get it out of my head that it should be right the first time.

The group thought question raised many questions for me. The video included was the most influential piece. I enjoyed it very much due to the passion and information backed up in the video.

 This week focused mainly around our essay three papers and our revisions. For me, the professor gave a lot of useful feedback. I tried my best to incorporate what he said into my rough draft. That way when it was done I could receive credit. But also because I wanted to convince myself that my argument within the paper was concrete. One thing I could have paid more attention to was the rubric he mentioned to follow.
