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...

Are there sections that you feel are particularly strong or particularly weak? I feel the paper is pretty good. I am glad we are turning it in in steps, otherwise this would be my final draft (and it would not be as good as it can be)

Do your quotations support the unit of analysis under which they are listed? I feel they do. I really searched for the right episode to emphasize my points.(which took FOREVER by the way)

Are your examples illustrative?I feel it has a readable flow, that the examples are for sure illustrative of my view point.

Do you need to include more description?no, I prob. need to describe or explane less and get to the point a bit more.

Is there something that you would like your reviewers to pay special attention to? My APA format. I suck at it and it's what really took a long time :)

How do you think this paper turned out? pretty good, way better than the last one, that's for sure.

Critical Perspective paper

2006-04-04T00:50:00.000-07:00

1. How do you feel this paper turned out?
on a scale of one to pretty crappy, i'd have to say crappy. I don't feel like I am doing this paper right! Perhaps we are not supposed to feel like we got it all together just yet... and that is part of the process, but this paper made me feel like an idiot... If i am being honest.

2. How will the critical perspectives you selected allow you to talk about your artifact?
It is going to allow me to look at the issues of dating and how they are more traditional that not when applied to Sex and the City.

3. How were the articles you read using this perspective or one similar to it helpful to you?
The articles were helpful, but not as much as I though. I ended up getting thrown around the whole feminist issues more that traditional dating aspects.

4. Do you feel like there is something that you should have included or described in more detail?
Probably, but if i could think of it i would have included it!

5. What are the three biggest strengths of this essay?
I feel I have the structure down, I kinda know what I want to do, I feel my paper's direction has potential.

6. What do you think are two of its weaknesses?
I lack a more direct structure and my sources are not srtong enough at this point, and they should be.

7. What would you like your reviewers to focus on? tell me if you feel I on on the right page, do you think I have a clue here or not?

context paper

2006-03-02T00:23:00.000-08:00

How do you feel this paper turned out? I feel it turned out pretty good. I want to get further into it, but time is not on my side this semester.
Did you accomplish what you set out to do in the description of the context? I feel I did. I wanted to really tackel all the big issues surrounding Sex and The city and I think I covered all the issues out there.
Do you feel like there is something that you should have included or described in more detail? I feel I covered all the issues, but I could always describe more.
What are the three biggest strengths of this essay? I went into depth, I was organized, and I worked hard on it.
What do you think are two of its weaknesses? It could always be more in depth and more organized
What would you like your reviewers to focus on? I would like them to continue to give the great and detailed feedback. They have been a great support team with great ideas. thanks ladies:)

Descriptive Analysis

2006-02-09T01:44:00.000-08:00

The following are my reflections...
This assignment was fun, but difficult at the same time. This week was a very busy one for me, so I feel my paper in this class isn't what it could be....

#1. I feel the paper turned out pretty good under the circumstances of this busy week I have had.
#2. I feel I accomplised what I set out to do with the description, but I feel it wasn't enough.
#3. I feel I could have gone into greater detail about some of the little qualities of Sex and the City that make it such a great show.
#4. I feel my three biggest strengths of my essay are...1, it's an easy read, my ideas and thoughts are well organized. 2, I feel I am a decent writer in that I make few grammatical errors etc. and 3, The essay was well thought out.
#5. This takes me back to number 3, and another weakness is my word choices, at times I get lazy and use words that are simple as opposed to words that are more interesting.
#6. I'd like my reviewers to focus on wheather or not my paper has enough content, do you feel you need more info. on my artifact? Is it a clear description, etc.

Thats all for now...
