Over the snow days I worked on my research paper. My research paper was decent overall. I feel confident of my introduction and I did a good job of using all the points I put in my thesis in the body of the paper. The easiest part of the paper was writing the introduction because I already had my thesis done. Placing all the information down on the paper and organizing the paragraphs was also fairly easy because I already had the sections mapped out on my detailed outline.
The hardest part about writing my draft was the length requirement. Once I had placed all my important information in my paper I still had two more pages to write. I discussed my topic with one of my friends and she suggest to look up how the one-child policy affects kids' personalities. I found a lot of information about how it affects personalities and added that to my research paper draft. I am unsure if i cited correctly with the commas and periods on a few of my sources. I tried looking over the powerpoint on quoting but i couldn't find the quoting rules that I was looking for, even though I remember talking about them. I'm concerned with my conclusion and if I connected the paragraphs together and related them back to the thesis without being extremely repetitive. I would like help changing the fluency between paragraphs and the punctuation of my citing portion of my paraphrases and quotes. When Dr. D reads my draft I would like her to focus her feedback on how the my paragraphs connect to the thesis and each other.

Hey Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI basically wrote the same reflection. I felt like the introduction was the easiest because you could give a brief overview and relate to your thesis. I agree the length requirement was touch; however, I think that was because thats all the students worried about. I tried to focus on the paper and then worry about the length when I was done. I bet your paper is great. Let me know if you want my student feedback.
Your friend,
Brooke
Hi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way with my paper, especially my introduction and conclusion.
