After reviewing my peer’s comments I am a lot more confident about my free draft. It seemed challenging to put my ideas into a coherent essay at first, but it appears like I did an alright job. That being said, I still have my work cut out for me. First, I have to add my other modes into my essay. While I have outlined where I am going to use them, I have to pick the right pictures and songs I want to use. Second, I want to focus my argument and claim sentences to support what I actually want to talk about. While I do have decent claim sentences, they aren’t exactly what I’m trying to say. Lastly, there are minor tasks to attend to such as grammar, quotes, and citations. After I accomplish all of this I feel like I’ll be in good shape. However my biggest challenge will most likely be focusing my claim sentences. While I know what I want to say, it feels difficult to actually articulate these thoughts. But with some focused thought I should be able to over come this challenge. If I can’t overcome these challenges on my own, I’m sure i can return to my peers, or teacher, to help me brainstorm some ideas. Overall, I like where I am right now and feel confident approaching this final stretch of my paper.

  1. As you try to get at the right language to articulate those complicated ideas, don’t be afraid to scribble on a scrap piece of paper. Sometimes it can help to doodle or free write for a minute as you zero in on what it is you want to say. 3/3
