Unit 5 Group Questions

1) What is good about this essay? What could be improved?
It has a good introduction the beginng is a good intrest catcher, good organization throughout and a lot of details? It needs to have less details and more major points.The organization problem could be fixed if the author used more transitional sentences.
2) What is this essay’s thesis? What is the support she uses to back it up?
“A superior paper is made up of solid research, meaning and all the rhetorical devises, which are just some of the writing skills I have learned this semester in English 101.” She doesn’t support her thesis in her paper.
3) Does the author use enough quotations and discussion of her experiences in 101 to justify her thesis and subpoints?
Yes, the author uses quotations regularly to back up her experiences with the English 101 units.
4) Now, looking back on her essay try to figure out another way she might organize it. Using cut and paste reorganize this essay—be ready to explain your organizational ethos to the class.
5) What information does she include about her failures, successes, improvements, & class work & skills that helped her be a better writer?
At first she said, “Before taking this class I did not even know what a rhetorical devise was.” but then she describes how she learned how many different skills throughout the course that helped her become a better writer. She describes failures and successes and improvements. She didn't describe it through paper.
6) Does she believe she is a better writer after 101? Yes/No why?
Yes, because she learned how to organize a paper like a house. She accomplishes metacongnition very well in her paper.
