In Class today we went through and analyzed our rough draft. We took 2 highlighters, highlighting your voice and opinions in one color, and highlighting anything you used from an outside source in another color. Once we did this we are supposed to go back and analyze the colors and see the patterns in which we are writing. Once both these steps were complete, we were asked the following questions:
1. Which color dominates?
2. Are you turning over too much of the text to your sources?
3. Are you ignoring them and rattling on too much about what you think?
4. Or does your source use seem appropriate to support your purpose?
After reflecting on my paper, I see that I used mostly my opinions and my voice to write. This may be because i am very knowledgable on the topic and have opinions that need to be voiced. But i definitely need to incorporate more sources and mix my voice with others in the paper. I have big sections of my voice, but i do have good connections between my voice and my examples from other sources.
