Workshop Feedback

I truly enjoyed and appreciate the feedback that my partner gave after reading my rough draft. I was a little skeptical of a few of the arguments/points I was trying to make, but she said that they're all great and make complete sense, which was very relieving for me. She really liked my introduction, and she did a really great job of pointing out where I used the different appeals like Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. My partner also really liked how I can directly relate to the argument I'm making and how I made sure to put that personal experience in there. In class Jenn told us about how she likes to acknowledge opposing viewpoints at the very end of her argument papers, which I thought was a fantastic idea. I decided to do that with my paper as well and I'm glad I did because my partner thought it was a great touch and really helped sum the paper up. My partner didn't have a lot of feedback as far as things that could be done differently, which was good for me to hear. However she did point out of a few areas in certain paragraphs where I can use more Pathos, Logos, or Ethos in order to draw the reader in that much more and really make a valid point. I appreciate this feedback and I completely agree with her, so I will be taking that advice. Regardless it always happens that once I read one of my papers thoroughly multiple times, I'll start to see things that I'd like to do or say differently. Just because one person who has read your paper doesn't have a lot of feedback as far as editing, doesn't at all mean that it isn't there.
