Reflection on Project 2 Draft

The two drafts that I peer reviewed were Hallye's and Chloe's. Hallye's was not a full draft yet, but i left suggestions to help her develop it into a working draft.

Do you have an identifiable thesis?

I personally believe that I have a clear thesis statement. I can see where it may be lacking in pointing out rhetorical strategies, which can be fixed later in the next draft. By looking at other drafts, I can see where I may be lacking in certain points. As well, I can see where I am not lacking anything.

How have you decided to organize your essay?

For my essay, apart from introduction and conclusion, I have decided to focus mainly on a single aspect in each paragraph. It allows for coherency and easier understanding of the subject. The Introduction is organized to reflect my take on the subject as well as the article's authors take on the subject. As well, it introduces the subject of the article as a whole. The conclusion is meant to restate the thesis along with showing a clear opinion and tone of the entire paper.

Did you identify and analyze the five elements of the rhetorical situation?

I do believe I did identify and analyze the elements. However, I am not exactly sure if I have, thus peer revision will be very helpful to see this.

Did you explain why certain rhetorical strategies were employed?

I do not believe that I did this. It is possible i focused too much on the subject rather than rhetorical strategies. This will be something I need to fix come next draft.

Are you using evidence in your article?

I have used plenty of evidence in from my article in my paper. I took information from this article and others to provide ample background for the paper and for it to be put into context.

Do you leave your reader wanting more?

Being the writer, I can say that I believe that I did. However, it is more up to the reader to figure that out for myself. I do believe that I did but you can never be sure.
