During the course of the semester my recursive process has not changed significantly, although I have made minor tweaks to it. Generally while writing a rough draft, I have always tried to make an outline for my final draft. I feel as though in my earlier papers one and two, I did not meet the full requirements of the rough draft. However, in paper three I made a better attempt at the process. I have found that over the course of the semester I have a better understanding of the assignment when we discuss our rough drafts in the classroom, both with my peers and during the class discussion.
I feel as though I had the best understanding of the third paper. I believe I had the best starting point in my rough draft compared to the other two papers. With the help of Ben and Micky’s comments, I am confident that I turned the rough draft into my best piece of work. Both of my peers suggested that I show more evidence as well as expanding on my thoughts. My introduction was rather short and I failed to introduce one of the scholarly texts in my draft. For the final draft I went back and introduced the scholarly text as well as expanded on my thoughts and I feel as though strengthened my introduction. As far as new paragraphs go, my rough draft showed two literacy narratives that were an example of both a positive and negative identity shift due to sponsors. In my final draft I attempted to complicate it by showing a third students narrative where she believed she was being negatively impacted by a sponsor but in the long run she realized it was very positive. I also added a new conclusion that I believe did a better job of wrapping my paper up and I fixed all of the local errors that i could find.
