It's Done!

I finally finished revising, editing, and proofreading my final paper. I'm really happy with my work. This entire process has been both nerve-wracking and rewarding. I think I've definitely become much better at paraphrasing during this semester. It's been really hard working on three different papers at one time but I have realized that with the skills I've developed during this class, I have written great papers for my other two classes. So I guess it was a blessing in disguise.

Outlines

1 comment:

  1. Your outline is really good! I'm also doing the Spanish Amer War and my outline looks so different from yours. I think its so interesting to see how people can write so differently on the same topic. My classmate Henfry is also writing on the war, and his paper is going to be very informative whereas my paper I'm arguing about how I think the U.S. sucks lol. I'd love to read your paper once it's done :-)

I've had a few group discussions with other students who are writing about the war. One wants to write about the whole war overall, giving different types of insight of it. The other wants to write all the negative things and views of what the United States did and why they are so bad. I'm gonna write about the positive things the United States and impact they had.

  1. Trust me, writing the paper in the method I chose is very hard! I realized after finishing my outline last week that my conclusion has to be convincing of my argument which means I have to do a little extra researching :-( I would love to read your paper once it's completed!

Almost there!

So I completed my first draft of my research paper and I have to say I'm proud of it. It took alot of hard work and dedication but I did it.
I have been revising and proofreading for the past few days now and I think I have it finally completed. I just had to do some extra paraphrasing and using my quotations in a more analytical way. I also forgot to put some web links on my work cited page. So I managed to (hopefully) fix it and it looks complete. I'm so relieved!

Computer Time

We finally got some extra time working in a computer lab this week. So far, I am about half way done with my paper. I am trying to make sure I put all the right quotations in the right place and I'm trying to make sure I cite everything appropriately. My biggest obstacle (besides citing and quoting correctly) is also making sure my timeline is accurate. I keep having to go back and re read everything to make sure it looks correct :-) I want to be done already!!
