Simple grammatical errors really put my paper from being a great paper to a decent paper. My sentence and paragraph structure could have used some work as well. In my paper #2 I will make it a point to revise with more caution. I will read my paper aloud and see how the flow is working.

Journal #14: Annotating Gee
Graff and Birkenstein (They Say/I Say) explain that most writers (certainly of academic essays) are responding to what others have said, and they tell us to look for what motivates these writers. By entering a conversation, according to them, a writer has to represent what’s been said and move beyond it in some way. So, what are some of the views Gee responds to? Remember, he may name them explicitly; they…

Journal #7 :Hellen Keller
This chapter in Hellen Kellers life relates to what we have been talking about for the entire semester. You can not learn before you appreciate it.
