This is where I put a title...or not!

Additionally, you should post a reflection to you blog addressing these questions:

What are the strengths of this essay? I am still in the beginning stages of my final draft. I feel it is slowly comming together. I am good with APA and my ideas are on point.

What do you think still needs work? I need to allow for flow. the paper is choppy and some concepts are not well thought through

How do you want your group members to help you? for now, just review and I will get a better final draft to you for review later

What areas of the essay are you feeling uncertain about? I am unsure about my conclusion

What do you think that you still need to do before this essay is ready to be submitted to the professor for evaluation? LOTS

Any other specific questions you have for your group. Nothing right now...

1. Evaluate the introduction. Is it interesting? Does the author clearly lay out the main argument of the essay and how they intend to support
the essay? What information should be included in the introduction that is not currently there? What should be left out? Overall comments?

Good introduction, overall I think it lays out the main argument.

2. Evaluate the introduction and overview of the data. Is it clear what artifact the author is working with? How does the author justify the use of this artifact as a way to answer the research question? Make sure that the author is referring to the artifact by name and not calling it “my artifact”. What information should be included that is currently left out, and vice versa?
This will probably take a little more work. Add in a few extra sentences, etc.

3. Evaluate the overview of the critical perspective. Is the perspective explained clearly and succinctly? What can the author do to improve this section? Does the essay flow from the perspective to the analysis?
I think the critical perspective is very clear, and allows me to know how you will be evaulating this. i love it!!

4. Evaluate the analysis. Are there helpful subheadings? What can the author do to make this section more clear. Should the author increase or decrease the number of examples they include? Are all quote cited correctly? Are there too many long quotes, or other areas where it is easy to drift away from the essay? What can the author do to improve the analysis?
Very good, maybe connect more to why this creates this step in the dating process, as opposed to just describing it.

5. Evaluate the conclusions and implications. What do you think this research contributes to the discipline? Why is this research important? What other ideas do you have for the author to improve this section?
I am not sure if you talked about how this contributed to rhetoric as much as you should have.

6. Please make an overall assessment of the essay. What is the author doing right? What still needs work? What can be done in the next week to improve the essay?
You are talking very clearly about the dating process, maybe talk more about how this rhetorical.

7. Comment on the writing of the essay. What can the author do to create more elegant writing?
Source citation is REALLY important. What can you suggest to help the author in this area?

I think you should add a little bit of polish to the paper, such as in correcting some grammar flaws, etc. Also, maybe talk amore about how this ties into the rhetoric.
