Journal 5/11/16

Q1. So, in the end, how’d your WP2 paper go?  What were you happy with?  What weren’t you?  Why?  Be specific!  (Remember: this is fodder for your end-of-quarter metacognitive reflection)
I am actually not completely done polishing up my paper ( Thank you Zack for making it due at 10). So far though I am pleased with the topic I picked and the articles I chose for the different genres. I am STILL not sure about my thesis. I don't know if it's too broad or if it needs to be more specific. I am still changing it around a bit. 
I really like how my essay is structured in comparison to my first WP1. I didn't realize how much of a difference the structure of paragraphs made until I wrote this essay. 
Q2. Which 2 or 3 comments that you received yesterday were the most helpful for you?  Why?  

A sure helpful comment that I received was that I needed to incorporate moves more in my paper. I addressed things that would be moves, but didn't give a definition or an overview to what the concept of "moves" means to me. Also, I appreciated that I was told to summarize less and analyze more, because that means I have more room to analyze now, so I think my paper will be stronger. She also told me that my paper was easy to follow because of how I had organized my paper, which reassured me, because my intent was to make my essay more reader friendly.
