During this strange string of events that I have definitely attempted to NOT freak out over, we had a couple of questions to answer for our journal entries.
Q1. So, in the end, how’d your WP2 paper go? What were you happy with? What weren’t you? Why? Be specific! (Remember: this is fodder for your end-of-quarter metacognitive reflection)
- To be completely honest, I was a little upset over my WP2 paper. After hours of revision, I did not really feel satisfied with the results of what I had written, but I felt like that was the best I could do. However, I was really satisfied with my revision of my introduction from my first draft. After hearing my peers' opening sentences, I was very motivated to create a hook that would be up to par with the three-worded-sentence-opener thing. One thing that I wasn't quite satisfied with was the way I could organize each paragraph and thought among each other. I was very confused and scared that I didn't have enough flow in my transitions.
Q2. Which 2 or 3 comments that you received yesterday were the most helpful for you? Why?
- One comment that helped me was concerning my choppy sentences. One of the peer readers had suggested combining sentences together and making them flow more than a constant stream of short sentences with the same subject. One more comment that really helped me was a suggestion to organize my thoughts first. They had pointed out that what I was arguing in the paragraph did not quite reflect my topic sentence in the beginning, so after rereading the actual content, I rewrote the main ideas.
I'm glad you were able to improve your intro because I know you were worried about that! I'd love to read your hook. I bet it's awesome. I feel like based on your reflection here, your second draft is gunna be really good
