Blog 12 Best and Weakest Portfolio Paper
Out of my three papers that I have selected the one that represents my best work is my personal analysis essay. I think this because I believe that I have good argument that parents really shape what we do with our lives and who we become. I think that I have good quotes to back it up and an overall good organization to my essay. One thing that I tried to work on my unpacking my quotes and I thought that I did that well in this essay. I think my essay that needs that most work in my research paper. I was confused on the prompt and I thought that we were doing a research paper about the book, tv show, or movie we selected and what effect it had on American culture. So I have a lot of information on my tv series and why it was so influential. But I need to change my content and explain the change in American culture that occurred and use my tv show to support that. So unfortunately I have A LOT of work to do on that. And im bummed about that because I thought I had a really good start to my essay and now I have to throw that out. My weakest area in the paper would be not starting off on the right foot and I need to do more research and change the angle that I was going on. I also want to do more explication but of different episodes. Over all I have a lot of work to do on my portfolio. I don’t know about anyone else but this portfolio is stressing me out!

I really enjoyed reading your personal analysis paper. I thought you had a really good topic, and argument. A lot of people can relate to your argument and it's well explained. You did a really good job at unpacking quotes, which I wish I was better at doing, and don't stress about your research paper. I know you don't think you're much of a writer, but from what I've read you're really good. You seem to stay on task and write about your specific topic rather than babbling off about other random things. I enjoy your essays Cammi, keep it up! You shouldn't throw away all of the information about your research essay, but rather incorporate some examples to back up the change. I thought it was about the series as well. Seems like we have some work to do then.
