Look through my peer review notes the main thing I need to do is go deeper in order to get my argument across. I’ve noticed that I tend to just scratch he surface when talking about ideas and need to explain ore in order to make my argument seem valid. This is my main goal. I feel if I’m able to explain my claims better I can go back and fix my thesis to be more specific.
Steps
- I plan to go back and pick out the main ideas I’m trying to articulate in my essay.
- I will go over the paragraphs already written and see if my argument is clear and my quotes aren’t overpowering my paper.
- I will go back and edit either starting new or adding needed information.
- Add in needed quotes, pictures or hyperlinks to add the multimodal part.
- Reread my paper and see if it still supports my thesis, if not I’ll formulate a new one to better support my paper.
I think my biggest challenge will be trying to formulate a new thesis that is more specific. There is a lot of comments throughout my paper and its hard to know which ones to prioritize or how to even start. If I come across this I plan to either ask another peer to review my paper or have professor emerson look at certain parts of my essay.
Wonderful! Make sure that you use questions to help you go deeper (beyond scratching the surface). Questions like why, how, or what is the result (so what) can help you break through the surface thought patterns to a much richer and less familiar potential for reflection.
