Drafting In Class

Today in class we continued on working on our senior papers that are due February 1st, which is next Friday. Today I spent my time in class working on fixing some problems in my Literature Review. Mr. Rivers pointed out that I still needed to cite some evidence from my opening paragraph , even though the evidence was not directly quoted. After this I added additional details to my body paragraphs that were both from my cinematic and literature evidence. Mr. Rivers suggested that I needed to add additional information, so I decided to dedicate today in doing so. My paper is on the improvements in the way we treat head injuries and I decided to use the movie Concussion starring Will Smith as my Cinematic evidence. The movie is based off of a doctor who made discoveries about the long term effects of concussions and CTE. After I added the additional information I began adding the citations to the new evidence. The way to citate will depend on if the paper you are writing is in MLA or APA format.

Our Homework is to finish the synthesizing part of our essay, it is important to understand to understand how much sequencing effects the paper, this will allow our papers to flow smoothly. Mr, Rivers also reminded us that our papers will be worked on for the last time in class on Friday (1/25).
