Reflection Essay 3
When my group and I were choosing the article we were going to talk about, the process was not difficult, we read a little bit about each article because we had man options, and we saw the the article about feminism could be suitable for us, it is a good and interesting article to talk about.
The reading logs are very helpful because I can clarify my ideas. I honestly did not have the meaning of feminism well defined, actually since I never talked about it and I never really took the time to do a little research about it, I did not know exactly what it was. As a mentioned before, the reading logs made me to be more focus on the reading, and since I had to make a summary and to write the important insights, the topic of feminism was getting more clear.
During the writing of the thesis statement, I started to think more deeply about the topic, and I realized that both articles can, up to a point talk about the same thing but with different perspectives, and here is when I chose whether or not to follow feminism as something good.
For the initial thesis I completed the outline, and it was correct but the last sentence, which is the common ground I did not write it. Now I added the common ground as the last sentence of the initial thesis.
Common ground: Women should be respected, it does not matter what job they get or what choice they choose, people in general, specially men, should respect woman's choice, and woman,of course must feel honored.
I think my draft is an a good shape , its greatest strength is the part of my " perspective," it is well explained and understandable, also something else strong about it is the introduction, I tell all the points I am going to talk about and also I tried to make them as clear as possible.
I need to work more with the grammar, and also maybe to explain some sentences better in a way that everyone can understand it, and also with the purpose to engage my audience to keep reading my writing.
My process writing this persuasive essay was not easy. I had to do a lot of different steps before putting all together, I had to think about all I was going to talk about, figure out who was against,I also had to understand the different perspectives each article had, in order to find the common ground, and also took me hours to finish it. However, it was fun writing it and also I learned a lot from it.
My plan of how I am going to do the revision is quite similar from the previous processes I have done.I am going to fix the mistakes my partner noticed on my essay, such as grammar mistakes and adding some explanations to make it more clear for my audience, also I am going to wait for the feedback my professor will give me.
I think my professor will give me even more feedback, mostly about grammar and maybe to be more explicit about some quotes or thoughts I wrote on my essay.
My predictions about my professor's comments were quite accurate with what I thought it was going to be. However, the feedback she gave me, were more coherent. One of the errors I did was the title, the original title was not as good as the title that has now, another thing was that in one of the paragraphs I did not explain the quote, so I fixed that, and grammar mistakes.
What I liked about my essay is its length and as I have seen, it is well explained, until now the people who have read my essay have understood what it is about, which that gives me an idea that I did a good job, and I think that the thesis and the way I argued my point of view are strong paragraphs.
What I think that did not worked out so well in my essay was the title, even though I changed it, I am not sure if that was the correct title for my essay in order to give other people a more specific idea of what I wanted to transmit.
Based on how, this essay has turned out, what I would do different for essay 4 would be to find a good title in order to persuade my audience to keep reading it.
