As I continue to improve my essay, I want to plan on working on my organization and thesis. Through peer review, my peers brought my attention that my thesis was not that clear. It was hard to tell exactly what I would be arguing about in my essay. To make my thesis more strong and clearer, one of my peers suggested that I link my last two sentences in a way to form a sentence that states exactly what my main argument is. I also want to work on my organization so that my essay flows in a logical order. I need to organize my multimodal elements in a way that is effective. I will succeed in doing so by making each paragraph separate and put the images, visual, or audio, arranged in a way that makes sense to the reader. I see my biggest challenge being trying to figure out how to make my thesis statement go with the main points that I make in my essay. Right now, I feel like my ideas are all over the place, and I can’t find a way to condense it into one main idea. For solve this challenge, I will use They Say I Say as a resource in order to help myself find a main idea, and use evidence to argue for it.
Nikki,
Please don’t worry about narrowing your scope! Go as specific as you would like. Remember that you need to engage with Anderson’s ideas, but beyond that, you can choose what you want to include.
I hope the class’s argument exercise helped you. If you would like more feedback on helping you narrow your argument, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 3/3
