1.) the way I analyzed my paper was through my own personal stance on my topic, which is that Americans are becoming too dependent on technology. I then backed up my personal stance with credible authors. I also used many counter arguments, and then backed those up with information that is helpful to my position. The most helpful method I used was the drafting and charting in the beginning, so I have a more clear understanding and outline of my paper to work with.
2.) When I first started to draft my essay, I began with researching hot controversial topics to have a better understanding of a topic that I was interested in. Once I found my topic, I began to do research and divide my paper into different sub section outlines. The sub sections consisted of technology effecting our social, physical, and mental health, and it is affecting our societal progress.
3.) I wrote my essay in a very neat way that is easy for my audience to read it. One thing that I could have done to improve my essay so it would be easier for my reader, was if I incorporated more background information and put a few visuals in for effect. That would have made it stand out more.
4.) Yes, I provided sufficient evidence in my essay many times. Every statement that I made involving America as a whole, I would use a statistic or background information to back up my reasoning.
5.) What I thought I did well on was the way I organized my essay and the way it flows. It all connects together in the way it's intended.
6.) Something that could still be improved in my essay would be the conclusion. It sounds a little choppy and doesn't tie my whole essay together.
7.) No, I did not use any visuals, although I should have to have had a greater effect on showing how different our world looks today because of technology compared to 50 years ago. I do not believe I could express pictures in few enough words for this essay, so pictures would be a better way to go. Especially because it leaves a little imagination and thinking for the reader.
8.) My peers reading responses influences my writing quite substantially. I like the idea of having our peers read our essays so we can have feedback from a whole new perspective and it's beneficial to the analyst because they got extra practice put in.
9.) If I could do anything different next time, I would try to find more deep and complex ideas to try to persuade my reader on a more global scale, instead of community and state based.
10.) I am very pleased with my analysis. I put in the research needed and organized my words and ideas in a way that is easy for the audience to read. I also backed up my ideas with credible sources.
11.) a transferable skill I can and will take along with me is to do solid research and organizing before starting your a paper. If you did that, your paper will be 200 times easier to write.
