My goal is to incorporate my own opinion and more specifics into each section of my paper. I think that it will be important when revising my paper to include my own opinion so the paper will be more specific. It will also make it clearer for the reader to understand my stance on the argument that is stated. By adding my own opinion I can help the reader understand my writing better. With the addition of more details into the text, I will better be able to support and argue my claim. I also plan on summarizing some of the original quotes that were placed in the text.
First, I plan to reread my essay and summarize the paragraphs that have many quotes. After, I will create an outline of what I already have down in the paper. With the outline I will then be able to choose where I want to incorporate my own opinion and where I have room to add more specificity. After I do that, I will choose what I want to add. I will then re type the paper with the new opinions and details.
I think the most difficult part of this will be choosing where it is necessary to summarize and explain quotes that I already have as I will have to remove and replace many sentences. I believe that this will be confusing and if I do not do this in an organized fashion, there can be much room for mistakes. In order to prevent this challenge from coming up, I think it will be very helpful to physically print out a copy of my paper and write directly on that. If the problem still does come up or any other problems, and I get too overwhelmed to fix it, I will simply ask for help. It is so important for students to know that they do not have to do this alone and that we have so many resources, like the student academic support center, office hours for each teacher, and even peers who are doing the same work.
