In this blog post I will be answering various questions about my writing and reflecting on my processes and products thoroughly. Prior to answering these questions, I watched a video called Reflective Writing that discussed how to write, what to write, and the benefits of reflective writing. If you are interested in reading my research paper based on America’s prison system or just to read more, you can visit my Research Paper web page.
Who did you work with to compose your research paper? Was this a good approach? I worked by myself to compose my research paper, and I felt like it was a good approach for me personally. I prefer to work alone on papers that are dedicated to research especially when it’s a topic I’m passionate about. I was able to have a clear focus working by myself, and I was able to piece together my work how I wanted. Also, throughout writing my research paper I was able to expand on MY opinions or certain points I wanted to nail. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? The rhetorical mode I used is argumentation, and the genre is a MLA formatted paper. When did you write this project? Good approach? I had my topic, claims, and sources shortly after we started, but I did not start my paper until a few days before it was due. I unfortunately procrastinate all the time and put everything off until last minute. But, I seem to do well under pressure and I think that’s why it works for me in most scenarios. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote this project in my bedroom, where I find silence and comfortability. It was a good approach because I’m able to focus, have my notes in front of me, and helps me avoid needing to take a writer’s break. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I chose to write about my topic because it was a subject I felt passionate about. I felt strongly in my opinion and wanted to convey that message clearly. How did it feel to write this argument ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? While I was writing this argument, I was confident in my sources and topic, but I felt overwhelmed in a sense because of the time crunch. Other than that, during my writing I found additional sources that helped my paper and I felt comfortable. After I was done writing I felt at ease and accomplished. I was happy that I got it done in a timely fashion and that I was satisfied with my work. Since I wrote my paper, I already found errors (courtesy to our last class) and I will be revising my paper and creating a second draft that I hope results in a great research paper. How will you revise your argument? I will revise my argument by doing a multitude of corrections. I need to fix my lengthy quotes, change my work cited page in alphabetical order, add more content to certain sections of my paper and expand more on my opinion. (I could possibly find more in the process of my revision) But to stay updated check out my Research Paper web page and my drafts!
