Self Evaluation (October the 27th)

1) What score do you think you deserve? Here is the rubric:

2 points - The first draft is thoughtful and a good start to an effective persuasive essay. It demonstrates an understanding of the classical argument.

1 point - The student completes a first draft that demonstrates an understanding of the classical argument

0 points - The first draft is inadequate

I think I deserve 1 point. My first draft does have all the elements of the classical argument, but it needs a lot more work done. It wasn't exactly written with full understanding of the classical argument.

2) What did you do well?

I don't like my narration. The first paragraph seems sort of like another introduction paragraph, and the second paragraph seems irrelevant. 

4) Which part of the classical argument did you use the best?

6) What's your strategy to make your second draft better? 

I want to improve my narration by organizing my paragraphs according to content. I should do more research and search for better quality information that better suits my topic. The last paragraph in the confirmation seems vague too, so I want to specify that as well.  

My narration is strong. I do a good
