Reflection 1.1

When writing the argument, I felt that it was hard to keep focused when writing the rebuttal argument. After a while, I got a handle on choosing evidence from the original argument and being able to provide counter arguments for the original chosen evidence. I felt that citing sources in the paper seemed a lot more directional and easier after watching both of the tutorials. Before watching the tutorials, I felt I just threw quotes in my essay and I thought it was good enough, but now I know that I need an introduction and a summary for each quote I add into my argument. For the responses from my group members, I feel they stressed the idea of choosing more sources or sources that will provide more statistical information. Also, my group members thought I should state my opinion more often because it would help with the total argument. Ways I thought I could improve on my next essay was to provide some background information about the author and maybe the news paper provider. I decided to choose a smaller, more unknown news paper. This was because I felt that starting at the smaller news papers would result in a wider selection of one sided editorials that I could find a difference too. Another way I could improve my next draft is to find a couple more sources that relate to my argument. I felt that there were some areas in my argument were it just seemed like I was proposing a solution, but I really didn’t back up this solution with any statics or evidence that it could actually work in the real world. And in a rebuttal argument, the more evidence, the more convincing the paper is.
