Out of the papers you are putting into your English portfolio, which one do you think shows your best work and which one do you think needs to be edited the most? Explain why. Be specific. Provide examples of your best and weakest areas.
I think my best essay was the personal analysis. I felt really connected to it and it was something I enjoyed being able to talk about. My group members said that I was able to weave my story with my famous person well and that it was good overall. It does need a little bit more examples and more specific details to really integrate our stories and to better serve my purpose.
My worst essay is my research paper because I know that I need to use my sources more, not be so repetitive with certain words and phrases, and I need to add more examples and expand on my it serves a purpose in my paper. overall, my purpose is clear and the reader will know what I'm trying to argue in terms of what i'm trying to accomplish in this essay. I do provide some good examples but they need to be expanded more and to analyze them. Maybe looking up more sources would add to my research paper and support my thesis.

You have already pretty much answered how you could fix your weakest area. Since you say that you may need to do more research and use more examples to back up what you are saying, I think something that might help with that is if you really focused on that 9 step thing that we had to do to narrow down our topic. As was suggested in the handout, focusing on the keywords that you use to describe your narrowed focus should help you find very good sources. Good luck on all your revising and if you need anything that is what we are here for!
