Unit 3 reflection

[1] The lede in my paper is provocative, and leaves the reader asking why? It lacks somewhat on cleverness but makes up for it in efficiency.

[2] The intro is something that I’m most proud of.  It gives the historical context of the story, so as to get the reader to care, because its told like a story, and that begs the reader to want to continue.

[3] I took a strong stance in this topic that evolves as the piece continues.  There is no shortage of evidence from which to form an opinion.

[4] Putting it in historical context is the strongest part of this, however, I made compelling arguments and seem pretty convincing.

[5] The piece could have used some pictures and maybe a hyperlink or two, but I think I got the gist of melding an opinion piece with a research piece. (in the style of NYT mag)

[6] I felt after reading this again that the research was in depth, and the reader would have to be devoid of emotions to not feel something after spending a few minute investing in it.

[7] Expectation on research have been met.  I am an expert on the topic now.

[8] I think it might be a little tough to identify the primary source, however, a lot of secondary sources were used.

[9] Given that the research was so thorough, I think the reader would probably read this feeling that the writer was pretty credible.

[10]  The two pictures I used did a great job to capture the readers attention before they read.

[11] This paper certainly progressed through the process.

[12] No hyperlinks in this one

[13] I didn’t fing any mistakes in grammar my last read through.
