For reading journal six, take a look back at your Paper One: read the paper from start to finish, as you go note at the end of it. Then, think about what you would do differently if you were writing this paper today. The steps below should help, and you can use these numbers in your reading journal entry:
1. What was your
Purpose? This
should be the paper’s thesis statement, but sometimes the actual purpose of a paper gets away from or doesn’t actually support the thesis statement. If yours is not the thesis statement, state what it is in a phrase or two.
2. Compare your
Purpose to the actual paper assignment: do the two align (is the
Purpose Relevant to the assignment? If not, what would you need to change about the
Purpose or thesis statement of your paper to actually answer the paper assignment?)
3. How did you set out to prove the thesis statement? What specific
Concepts did you point to? What
Information/examples did you give? Is it
Precise/specific,
Clear, and
Relevant? If so, give an example. If not, tell what you might do differently.
4. How did you analyze the examples you gave (#3)? Give
one example where you think your analysis was
Deep and/or
Relevant. Give
one example where you think your analysis could be more
Clear, Relevant, Deep, or
Broad. What would you do differently?
