This week I felt what Atlas would have felt if the heavens had been lifted off his shoulders, because WP-2 has been graded and surprisingly enough, I did not fail. *wipes away stray tear*
As I had mentioned in my previous thlog, I had been feeling beyond overwhelmed with the prompt, and I wasn't even sure if I had answered it correctly. Zack gave me some really good feedback, and the main critiques he made were concerning my organization and my topic sentences. For my WP-2, I tried mixing it up and instead of structuring my paper by 1st source, 2nd source, 3rd source and then including my analysis with each, I organized it by 1st idea, 2nd idea, etc., then weaving in the sources as I go. As I did this, I tried to incorporate some insights about ‘moves’ as well, but I don’t think I included enough, and it came out sounding like an afterthought. In addition to this, Zack thought my topic sentences needed some work, so for my WP-3, I am going to try to create topic sentences that have more direction and are super clear about what the following paragraph is going to be about. Overall, I am really happy about my grade on this WP. It was significantly better than my WP-1, so hopefully this pattern of improvement will continue with my WP-3.
Speaking of WP-3, the topics and genres have been chosen, and frankly, I am not sure what I have gotten myself into. I wanted to do a genre that would be not only unique, but challenging as well, but now that I am trying to think of the logistics of the translation, my brain is just like:
*heavy sigh* Well, the Writing 2 gods have blessed me thus far, and hopefully they will continue to do so. Gonna go work on my WP-3 now, and pacify the mental chaos that is happening in my mind, so goodbye for now, and good luck to y’all on your own WP Journey to Greatness.
