Position Paper #1 reflection

My first position paper ever went as pretty well as I expected: good but not great.

Strengths: 
I did a good job establishing ethos/pathos. My sources were valid and I organized my essay fairly well.

Weaknesses: 
I failed to full analyze my quotes in depth with a "because" statement which would have further supported my argument. My outside of class sources were also pretty weak. I also did not site my sources correctly.

Areas of Improvement:

I got a 5 which means I, "utilized 3 r more sources to convey a central argument, but their analysis is limited" That's ok but lack of explanation prevented me from getting a 7. In order to reach my goal of a 7 which is, " utilized 3 r more sources to convey a central argument, and provides a more complete analysis or demonstrates a more mature prose style. " I will sit down with Mrs. Neel to discuss my writing and figure out how I can develop that more mature style of writing.
