Self-Review Questions for Rhetorical Analysis
1.
How well does the paper "match up" with the
assignment's requirements and expectations?
3.
What are the major supporting points for the thesis statement? Throughout most of the article, she demonstrates logos, pathos, and ethos as a neutral party speaking for both sides. However, her ending statements reflect a concerned parent.
No questions I can think of at this time.
6.
How clear are the relationships between the thesis and
each supporting point? Each supporting point shows that how she remains a neutral party, as stated in the thesis, up until the conclusion of the article, when her emotional side as a concerned parent kicks in.
7.
Where does the paper need transitions, content-lexical
ties, bigger/smaller paragraphs or other organizational improvements? I did make some changes to the quotes, making sure to give the author full credit for them.
8.
Was each sentence easy to read and understand? yes
10. How well does
the paper's format "match up" with standard MLA formatting?
I utilized MLA formatting when writing the paper.
11. How does the
paper's title affect your interest in the paper?
I chose the title "Another Person's Point of View" because the paper has 2 different audiences, and both audiences can stand to look at the situation from each other's perspective. I could show more credibility to the author, such as her experience as a writer. I only gave her credibility as a parent.
The self-review you posted is well done. You were able to fairly easily distinguish you strengths from your weaknesses and once you had addressed your weaknesses, you seemed to quickly rectify them. I would say that it seemed you should try to make the answers stand out a tad more from the questions so as not to confuse the reader. It seemed like you were doing that and you may have simply missed a few.
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job answering the self-review questions for this essay. I also struggled with showing credibility to the author. My biggest struggle was my thesis statement. I just could not get it to connect with the rest of the paper. Over all, like you, I think that my final draft is very nice.
You seem like you can easily look at your paper from an "outside" view and see what needs to be done. Whenever I looked at mine I had to really step out of what I was comfortable doing and see what really needed attention.
