Blog #3
I would say this RAP project is not all that different from other writing I have done in the past. I have had other writing assignments that required me to look at something and analyze it. Where this project is a little different is the part of adding secondary sources. In the past I had just looked at a certain thing and analyzed it and that’s where the paper stopped. Also, with this RAP project it is a lot more revising than I’ve done on papers in the past. I would say my paper has changed a lot since the first draft. I have added more details to my analyzing of my text and I have added secondary sources, which adds a lot to the paper. I still feel like there is a lot more that needs to be changed in my paper to get it to the quality of a final draft. I have never written a paper that has been worth half of my grade before. I find it to be kind of intimidating that one paper can make or brake my grade. When it comes to Commonplace, I am not really sure how I will rework my topic to make sure it fits with the style that Commonplace is looking for.

Yea, I agree that he whole "half your grade" idea is very intimidating. I gotta make sure I get it right.
ReplyDeleteHey, Kevin. I really appreciate all the revising that's gone into your paper. I think you've been doing really excellent, smart, and original work. I hope you feel like you've gained something from the writing process, too, because I know it can be tough and exhausting. And, of course, we have gone through so many drafts because it is worth half of your grade...and my thought is that, by the final draft, people will be turning in something they feel proud of and confident about. Thanks for sharing all this--I really learned a lot.
