Thlog #9

Well here is my weekly thlog. This was a very stressful week. I essentially took my WP1 and grinded it up and spit out something new. I kept some key parts of it but I scrapped the rest that I felt didn’t really belong. On the other hand, my WP2 was less strenuous. I just had to create a good thesis statement to base my point on. After I did that it was mostly adding more analysis to my statements that tied my paragraphs to my thesis. I also scrapped most of my introductions for both pieces because they were too fluffy. They took too long to get my point across. I also scrapped whole paragraphs in my WP1 because they felt like another intro paragraph. It sure was stressful but I was able to see why my WP1 was very inadequate. I also saw my WP2 just needed some more fine tuning to be an argument-based paper. While I still need to do the revision matrices and metacognitive reflection it should not take long since I know what major changes I made. I also have to do my metacognitive reflection but I already have an idea of what I am going to do. I intend to go from start to finish using WP1 to WP3 and describe the changes I have gone through. While I intend to be formal in the paper since it does involve higher level thinking I want to keep my personal voice. I don’t want it to sound like a generic piece of writing that could be copied and pasted.
