Critical Reflection V

After receiving my rough draft back, I'm starting to understand all that I need to do in order to make my final draft much better. I need to start by making a reverse outline, where I put my major arguments in the order I would like them, and start putting in other scholarly evidence to support my claim. My essay really needs help organizationally and I think doing the reverse outline will really help me. Other comments my professor asked me to work on were, looking into Freud's "The Uncanny" as a source, also finding more scholarly articles, my professor in my essay also pointed out that many paragraphs should be switched around, for instance when I talk about the Puritan and Romantic period I need to begin with this. My professor is asking me to rewrite a little about the Puritan age and Romantic period, she's also asking me to expand on many of my paragraphs for example she is thinking that I may want to make one of my comments which was, "This may be a message to our culture that any resolved issues we have we need to deal with," and make this into it's own section instead of just a comment. Two of the goal my professor highlighted were, 1. supporting a thesis using credible, appropriate, accurate and sufficient source material. My professor highlighted this because in my essay I started using material that was not scholarly, for instance I used The Free Dictionary for one of my citings. Instead I need to use the library and find a more reliable and credible source for my paper. Another goal she had was 2. Consider multiple perspectives. In my paper I have not added many others perspectives and I need to work on that. I think making a reverse outline will help me to find out where I have a need for multiple perspectives. I feel all of the goals she highlighted were not in my essay and I really need to work on them. I can revise my essay to fulfill these goals by starting with a in depth outline, that will help me make sure I have many of the goals, and also by doing more research so I can have a well- supported argument. I think doing both of these things will help my essay become credible and organized.
