1. Part 1: Initial Post
Reflect
Think about the work you submitted for the previous
assignments. Think about your research process and the
feedback you received from your instructor.
Write
What sort of feedback did you receive from your instructor,
peer, and Smarthinking tutors? Share to whatever degree you
are comfortable.
Additionally, now that you have conducted research and drafted
your paper, has your opinion on the topic stayed the same, or
changed in some way? As you reflect on your feedback, in 200
to 300 words, present a plan for the argument you will be
presenting in your paper.
In a few sentences each, identify and explain how you plan to
develop the following elements of your draft.
· Rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos
· Thesis statement (the paper’s position), based upon feedback
from your instructor
· At least two claims, building upon last week’s research and
assignment
· At least one counter argument and ideas for rebuttal
· Note any questions or concerns regarding the development of
your argument so that your instructor/peers may provide advice
for moving forward
Please note, in Part 2, your peers will provide feedback to what
you present in this section of the discussion.
Feedback from my professor on the rough draft that you
completed: Mara, this still seems in outline form with a
description of the essay rather than the essay itself. I need to
see the topic sentences for instance. The thesis looks
compelling, but I need to see how you develop it through the
topic sentences.
