Dear Dr. Hartman, I enjoyed writing this paper.

Last week I made a multimodal piece where I explained how video games are bad but as you can see I decided to look on the other side of the topic and see what is good about video games which was fun to write about. I gave myself Whoa! For Information because I felt that I got a good amount of sources with my four. Also felt that the paper I found that Dr. Gee wrote was very interesting. I gave myself Great Job! For Process because I felt that I did do a lot of research and took notes but I only made a few rough drafts and I never tried to write the whole paper a different style to see how that would work like. I gave myself the same mark for Rhetorical Knowledge because I feel like it was more my own opinion than another persons. For Knowledge of conventions I gave myself Whoa! Because I cited all my sources and used quotes and I do not believe I misspelled anything. Thank you for the chance to write about this. Jon Marc Wyatt
