THIS IS WHAT THE TEACHER SAID AFTER I SUBMITTED THE ASSIGNMENT.
Affouchata, The topic you chose for this paper seems like an effective choice for this assignment. What is confusing to me about the paper is that it is written in the third person and refers only in general terms to the speech and the assignment. In a couple of places, it even states that you are not sure what the nature of the text was or who the audience was, which confused me because you wrote it about a recent class assignment. What was your process for writing the paper? It should be an opportunity for you to reflect directly on your experience of creating the text and applying the concepts we learned from Carroll’s article to analyzing the rhetorical situation of the text and explaining how the situation shaped the text. Here are some areas of opportunity for improvement as you write your next paper: • Write a central statement/thesis that wraps up the major ideas of the paper into a single statement that forecasts what we are going to learn by reading the body paragraphs; review essay organization with thesis statement, topic sentences, etc. and work with a tutor at the WTC and attend office hours as necessary • Use accurate quotes from course readings and specific quotes/examples from your text to support your claims throughout the paper. • Neither MLA or APA format is used consistently in the paper, and no overall format is used. Review formatting from our first lesson on MLA format. --Quotes/paraphrases from the course readings should be used throughout the paper to support your own analysis of a specific assignment, along with proper in-text citations. • For the future, please use MLA (not APA) for your papers as the course has provided lessons and support for its use for formatting and citation. • The paper is descriptive more than analytical. When general examples from your speech are provided, they tend to serve as description of the text rather than as examples supporting an analysis of the text. Make analysis an area of focus for your second paper. I’d be happy to meet and talk more about the next paper. Please see margin comments for further details.
