Blog 14: discuss what you did well + what you need to work on for your DA essay. Then indicate what kind of feedback you would like from readers./Blog 15: Post your plan for revising your DA essay
I think my plan is to fix the things I said I needed to work on, so I'm combining these two entries.
When I first wrote my DA, I spent a lot of time thinking about questions I could ask, but not a lot of time answering them. I need to work on finding parts of the transcript that back up what I want to say, and removing points from my essay that I can't back up. I also didn't write an introduction or conclusion because I didn't feel like I was really making a specific point and therefore had nothing to sum up. I need to spend some time thinking about one or two basic points that I want to make with the essay, and stick with them. I feel like I have a lot of ideas on the subject and I was too excited to talk about all of them, which would make the essay either unclear or significantly longer than necessary. So, I need to cut back and once I have done that I can write a clear intro/conclusion.
As for comments, I would love to hear what people think about the issues I am bringing up in my essay. It might be helpful for me to get different points of view. I would also like to know if anyone thinks I am off-topic or the ideas I have about the transcript don't seem obvious to others.
