Journal Six

See attachment below.

For reading journal six, take a look back at your Paper One: read the paper from start to finish, as you go note at the end of it. Then, think about what you would do differently if you were writing this paper today. The steps below should help, and you can use these numbers in your reading journal entry:

1. What was your 
Purpose? This 
should be the paper’s thesis statement, but sometimes the actual purpose of a paper gets away from or doesn’t actually support the thesis statement. If yours is not the thesis statement, state what it is in a phrase or two.

2. Compare your 
Purpose to the actual paper assignment: do the two align (is the 
Purpose Relevant to the assignment? If not, what would you need to change about the 
Purpose or thesis statement of your paper to actually answer the paper assignment?)

3. How did you set out to prove the thesis statement? What specific 
Concepts did you point to? What 
Information/examples did you give? Is it 
Precise/specific, 
Clear, and 
Relevant? If so, give an example. If not, tell what you might do differently.

4. How did you analyze the examples you gave (#3)? Give 
one example where you think your analysis was 
Deep and/or
 Relevant. Give 
one example where you think your analysis could be more 
Clear, Relevant, Deep, or
 Broad. What would you do differently?
