In the end, I think my WP2 paper went pretty well. I was definitely happy with the evidence I was able to use, both in terms of direct evidence from the sources and the tie-ins to the class readings. However, I still feel my writing was a bit too choppy and robotic, and it detracted from the flow of my argument. I feel like if I could make my writing just a little more fluid and cohesive, then I would be able to form my arguments better.
The comments that were the most helpful for me were the ones that talked about flow. Getting a second perspective in those areas really helped me see how readers can get confused if my writing doesn't flow. Furthermore, they helped me see what I could do to fix these sections and make them more coherent for the reader.
I think Monday's peer reader session was much better than the old-school one from WP1. In this session, the review came entirely from a second person, whereas for WP1, part of the review came from your own judgement (the highlighting session). I feel more comfortable getting critique from another person as opposed to trying to see my own writing in a different way, which s why Monday's session was more successful for me.
