First, I spent the entire weekend completing this writing project. I went back through each source chosen for my draft, and evaluated them for their ultimate value to my research. Some of them I decided to eliminate from the final WP#2, mainly because other sources had the same information. The ones I used in the final represented all of the points of view relevant to my topic. I also modified each annotation to include all of the required information, trying to get close to the 150 words that Devon asked for. Going through this process really made me think about my thesis, and I began to recognize things that I could use as claims and warrants. Now I can organize the sources and information they contain into a coherent outline.
One thing I tried to improve in the writing project was my ability to format citations correctly. The web sites and Bedford Researcher were more helpful to me than the MLA Handbook. If I had not had to do MLA format in previous writing assignments, I would have been in real trouble. I didn't anticipate the "self-instruction" required for this class, but so far I am managing. Thank goodness for the peer review on the writing projects.
