Reflection on Project 3 Draft

This post is my reflection on the process of writing and peer-reviewing for project 3. I reviewed Clay and Cynthia's project 3 drafts. Overall, upon reviewing their drafts I found some flaws, as well as strengths, in my own draft. It is hard with this project in particular to compare however, as we are all doing different genres.

1. Jessi Grossman, Tyler Gray and Rose Kowalski all reviewed my draft of a public argument.

2. I liked Rose's review the best, of course, because she gave me high scores for all of the topics that encompass my draft. However, in terms of what was the most helpful, Tyler's comments in my argumentation were good starting points for moving forward with my draft. While I have good points as-is, I could incorporate more of those points, new additions to the list, thus adding more support without straying from my genre.

3. I think argumentation needs to be my biggest focus from here on out. I feel, despite some of the scores I received, like I have a clear understanding of my purpose, audience, and genre, but I had so much fun creating my piece, I forgot to focus on making it much of an argument. Again, by adding more numbers to my list, I can open up more room for argumentation, rebuttals, more evidence, etc.

4. I did not attend any instructor meetings, as I probably should have in order to get a better sense of how I'm doing on this project, and if I'm at least headed in the right direction. Personally, I feel confident in my general idea for my argument. While my draft may not have been perfect, I feel like I am on the right track and my peers reflected my opinions, for the most part.
