I think that using a thesaurus and looking up synonyms for words would help me find more specific words that match my meaning when writing.
Also, in-text citation formatting is difficult for me! I could improve upon this by looking at the Purdue Owl site and familiarizing myself with MLA 8 or asking a classmate to help explain to me how they are formatted. I suppose I could also do both.

I could've read more in depth with my quotes and I also could've reworded sentences. I also feel as if I overused some words too much but then I went through and fixed them.]]> 2016-11-09 16:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448653 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448672 I personally felt that this essay topic was something that none of us would have chosen and no one felt passionate enough to be able to give a good essay, and that the rubric is totally ridiculous, we aren't being graded on how persuasive or analytical that we are, it's how we can piece together a puzzle and follow guidelines.]]> 2016-11-09 16:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448672 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448762 I could have improved on word choice because I didn't use any "fancy" words because I did not know where they would fit in. I could have also improved on my timing and I could have took more time on my essay because it was a little confusing for me. I could have asked for more help with my essay and figured out what I thought was confusing. I also could have asked more people to proof read my essay.]]> 2016-11-09 16:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448762 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448849 My punctuation and word choice could have been better. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448849 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448904 Most definitely work on the counter-claim a lot more. It was just awful. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448904 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136448941 The things that I could have improved on are my in-text citations and having one that links with my claims.

I think i can improve upon this struggle by just getting it done and working on it when i get home]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449162 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449185 I would've liked to have a broader vocabulary when writing this essay. I feel like the word choice could've been better. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449185 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449228 My two weakness were the counter claim and how to find citations for the other side. I found this hard because I couldnt see why other people would sees it as any other way. Also i felt like my conclusion wasn't as strong as i hoped it could be . ]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449228 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449254 2016-11-09 16:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449254 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449302 My two weaknesses were the counterclaim and analysis]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449302 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449317 things i could improve on are punctuation and understanding how the counter claim was suppose to be]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449317 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449322 Most of my textual evidence was weak. It may not have stated the point that I wanted to state. More time going through the articles would have helped. My analyzing was also poor. More time on that would have helped as well.]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449322 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449325 I think I definitely could've improved upon my conclusion and counter claim. I've always struggled with wrapping up essays. My counter claim was weak, and with very little textual support and analysis. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449325 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449328 I would like to improve on my word choice and use some bigger "fancier" words that aren't that common. I would also like to improve on my conclusion since I always seem to struggle with that and it always seems to be a little on the short side.]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449328 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449330 Understanding how the counterclaim had worked. I had a it a certain way that it sounded like it was supposed to be formatted, but it turns out it was another way, so I had to rework my WHOLE counterclaim the night before we needed the essay printed out.

I feel I struggled with understanding he format on how to set up the conclusion.

I can improve this by considering the argument opposite of mine more and looking for words in a thesaurus. ]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449409 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449529 one of my weaknesses was the introduction, where the background info was confusing at some points and i could have improved on my second claim]]> 2016-11-09 16:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449529 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449564 Two things I would have liked to improve upon are word choice and grammar. I think that I could look up better synonyms for words in the future.

We started writhing about George and Lennie, and then talked about John Brown and the S.C. Case. Also the counterarguement was difficult]]> 2016-11-09 16:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449615 https://padlet.com/gallkath/572uhb4dlwxs/wish/136449635 I had a hard time connecting textual evidence from the articles to OFMAM. Probably because I didn't understand it that well. I also could improve on not working on my paper for so long. I would like to not work on papers for 2 hours a night.
