Reflection 1.1

For my first draft, I focused on getting out all of the information that I knew needed to be included in the essay. Although I made organization a priority, I basically wanted to make sure I included all of my thoughts and ideas on the article. That way, I can more easily weed out the bad ideas, which is easier than having to conjure up new ideas when I attempt my second or third drafts. While adding more depth to my outline, I discovered new points to include in the essay. Much of my first draft is a bit redundant, so when approaching my second draft I am going to focus on making my points more concise and to the point. I also need to bring my attention to a more concrete approach in including more of the rhetorical techniques used in class. The concept of first prewriting, then planning, then drafting made the first part of this process much easier. When I go to write my next draft, I will already have the main concept written out.
