12) Research Paper Reflection [Categories: Research Paper, Where to Invade Next, Reflection]: Please complete the following:
The main purpose of this post is to reflect the writing process of my research paper, “Should American Educational System Should Follow Finland's Educational System?”. I believe that reflective writing can give some ideas that I can imply them to write better drafts.
Who did you work with to compose your research paper? Was this a good approach? In the class, we co-authored the topics for research paper adapted from the documentary, Where to Invade Next. Also, we were provided the session about how to find the appropriate references from the school's data base. After that, I chose the topic, “Should American Educational System Should Follow Finland's Educational System?”, organized the references about the topic and compose by myself. This was a good approach. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? The rhetorical mode and genre are argumentation and MLA (Modern Language Association) research paper. When did you write this project? Good approach? Before writing this project, We were asked to write the annotated bibliography of the six sources for the research paper as a blog post. Then, I started writing, and I felt the rhythm of my writing quickly because I already prepared the sources for the paper from annotated bibliography post. Thus, this was a good approach. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote this project mostly at home as I like my own room that I feel comfortable. However, when my roommate arrived, I feel distracted when writing. This was a good approach as long as my roommate was not in my room. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I chose the topic about education. This is because all the future generations depend on the education system. If the future leaders are spoiled by the education system, that country will not develop anymore. America should also be careful of its education as it is left behind by Finland. Thus, it should take some good ideas from Finland. I think it is a good choice because I believe my research paper will help somehow for America’s education system. How did it feel to write this argument ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? I didn’t know how to write thesis sentence, I was lost when I started writing. Now, I realized that my thesis sentence was incorrect. During writing, I was worried if I cited the words correctly or not. About the topic sentences of the body paragraphs, I didn’t add them in my paragraphs as I didn’t know that we have to. After the project, I noticed that I need to put more of my opinion for argumentation. How will you revise your argument? I will definitely need to revise the thesis statement, and add the topic sentences to each paragraph and correct some of the citation. I will also put more of my opinion for argumentation and reorganize the references.
