In this blog post I will talk about the basic steps and information I wanted to include in my first draft and how I approached my College Debt Research Paper. The Reflective Writing video that we watched in class was a good source and a good outline of the type of writing that a research paper should have valid information from sources that I can back up.
Who did you work with to compose your research paper? Was this a good approach? I worked on my research paper by myself. I knew I could handle the research paper because of the topic. The topic I chose is something myself, and my family go through. My parents send me to college, but it's expensive and for most people they can't afford it. I tried to use as many sources regarding free tuition because it's it mentioned on a daily basis around the country. I wanted to make sure I mentioned the students who struggle to pay tuition bills. This was a good approach because the topic is something I'm familiar about and could write about. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? The rhetorical mode I'm using would be argumentation and persuasion. Im arguing that college is way to expensive and it's not worth it for people who cannot afford it. I'm persuaded the country that we should give at least two years worth of college education for free for students. The genre I'm using is MLA. When did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote my paper throughout the week, but was not done on time. This wasn't a good approach because there were a lot of great sources on the Library Data base, but the problem was there wasn't much information of giving free college tuition throughout the entire four years for a student. I had trouble getting that information so I leaned on towards talking and getting sources for two free years of community college education for students. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote the research paper on my dining room table where there was no distractions, and it was quiet. I also worked on it at school throughout the week and gathering all my sources. It was a good approach because there were no distractions and I could get my work done without any interruptions. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I chose to write about having free tuition because it's relevant to me, and will be relevant until I graduate and start to pay for my tuition by myself without my family paying it for me. It was a very good choice because I express the struggles that every student faces when they have to take out loans and hard worked money to go for a education that everyone should have an opportunity whether you have money or not. How did it feel to write this argument ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? I had a lot of personal opinions of why the country should allow free education. I didn't want the entire paper for me to express my opinions but I wanted to back them up with valid sources. During the process I focused on the importance of a college education. Everyone should be entitled to an education regardless of their financial status. After writing the paper I felt like I didn't have enough content to fully get my point across that this country needs to not make college too expensive for people to go straight to work and to not further their education. Since revising my paper I now know what I have to include to make a strong argument and to persuade the country to give free tuition to students. My only "if only" moments where to answer my questions with sources. How will you revise your argument? I will revise my argument by answering my questions with valid sources, and make sure that I fully explain my thoughts to make other people agree with me that students should attend a college where students don't have to worry about tuition bills and student loans.
