In this research paper, I was trying to show how literacy technologies are constantly changing, ranging from quill pens to the most recent ones, computers. My main claim was that writers need not worry about whether writing technologies are beneficial or not, but they should accept the change and learn how to adapt to the most recent technological advances. I used several sources to support my claim and I provided points from scholarly authors. I had a few counter-arguments that were just showing how the latest technologies have caused people to become poorer writers. I think my paper had a decent flow and had plenty of sources to make it stronger. The only thing I'm worried about is if my paragraphs are too long. I want my peer responses to make sure everything I wrote actually makes sense and the topic doesn't change. If I had more time I would probably write a few more paragraphs.
Here is the link to my 4th paper:

The main point of this paper was that we all should stop worrying about the pros and cons of new writing technology and just learn to accept it and adapt to it. The supporting reasons were that writing has transformed so many times and we adapted to that, so why shouldn't we adapt to new technology now. Another support was he explained the views of people for, against, and who are neutral to the new writing technologies.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your paper. I like how you had a lot of source info and how well you used the quotes from your sources. I also liked how you went into detail about people's conflicting views on writing technology. Your paragraphs are not too long at all and they all worked very well in your paper. I also think your topic flows nicely throughout the paper. The only problems I noticed were very small wording issues that made certain sentences or parts confusing and the bullet points you used in your works cited should not be there. But overall, I thought this paper was really good and your argument and supporting reasons were very strong. Good job!
