For today's exercise, I am supposed to choose a page or two of my draft to look over, with some highlighters at hand. The next step was to analyze and highlight the voices within my draft. This is so I can visualize just how much of my paper is my voice versus outside voices. After doing this we were supposed to reflect and answer a few questions.
Which color dominates? At this point, my essay is mainly my own voice.
Am I turning too much to my sources? I have actually realized that I might actually need to include more of their insight.
Am I rattling on, ignoring what the outside sources are saying? I am not sure that I would call it rattling on, but I do think that it would be to my benefit to back up what I have to say to make it more credible.
All in all, I think that my draft could use better balance between the voices and opinions. While my paper may be written there is still a bunch of work that needs to be done. I just hope there will be enough time to do it!
