Today was my group's writing conference where I presented the first two pages of my paper and basically outlined what my argument is going to be. I don't feel like I got a lot of feedback but maybe I'll get more after I read the copy Prof Thompson wrote on and next week when we do the readers reviews. Mostly what I know I need to work on in my paper is my thesis. My first draft has my thesis about half-baked but I need to add something that says what the elements say about identity, not just what I'll be looking at. After listening to feedback other people got I also plan to go back through my essay and make sure I'm making connections for my reader and supporting everything that I say. Also I want to make sure that the points I'm bringing up are valid and I don't say anything off-topic that doesn't need to be there. But I don't think I have anything like that in my paper, I didn't have problems getting to the required length so there's not really any padding in it. I just discussed everything I thought was relevant and wrote enough to form my argument and get my point across.

I know how you feel about not getting a ton of feedback. I'm sort of in the same boat. Hopefully we'll both receive a lot more feedback we can use to improve our paper with.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to flat out apologize with this comment haha! I didn't get to read either of your papers so I really couldn't give my input but Kylie I will be reading through yours for peer review and I'll try to give as much feedback as possible. I'll be gentle, promise.
