For today's assignment I had to go
through and mark my draft with two different colors of highlighter,
one for other peoples voices and one for my own voice then analyze
the marked up copy.
I discovered that for me orange (my
voice) dominated the paper. I certainly keep command and control of
my essay at all times, only at the end do I ever turn over more than
a quarter of the page to other peoples ideas. There are areas where
I tend to rattle on for a long time without including what others
say, but in general my use of sources is well tailored to fit my
paper and I maintain the balance needed.
The assignment was a good way for me to
see just how my draft comes across to others. When I was reading
through it in order to highlight it I was forced to see it almost as
someone else's paper, which has helped me gain new insight into how
to improve on my draft.
