Journals for week 7 online class

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)
In the end I was happy with the paper i wrote, I felt that my cohesion was much better than usual as I used the new strategy of taking each sentence apart that Zack showed us. I did not like feeling as though I wasn’t able to answer all of the questions in the way that I wanted, having to form it around a thesis statement made addressing all parts very difficult.
Q2. Which 2 or 3 comments that you received yesterday were the most helpful for you?  Why?
To add more examples directly from my text as well as to completely redo one of my paragraphs helped me greatly. This outside look showed me that I need to be more careful that I say what I need to versus just thinking I really already said it. Also it calls attention to the point that we need to have lots of examples within our pieces as we need to make sure the reader  as well as ourselves understand what is being said fully. Next time I will be more careful to fully explain everything and explicitly outline all that I want to say, this way I avoid missing something that could have been important.
