When I was revising my original WP1 I made two major changes, one being structural
and one being contextual. In regards to the structure of it, I took Zacks advice and changed the
format from Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, to Idea 1, Idea 2, Idea 3. This made my argument a
lot clearer and easy to understand, and shortened the paragraphs so they werent too much to
take on at once. I think this was an effective choice, the ideas come across better and the paper
transitions more smoothly. For the contextual changes, I condensed my ideas down and tried to
incorporate more of my own voice. I tried to minimize the quotations after every idea I
presented, and build upon the evidence I already had. Finally, I think the changes I made in my
WP1 were effective and made my paper that of a better quality.
