Paragraph Analysis

In this post, I will discuss and reflect on what I have learned about my QRG after doing a paragraph analysis on it.

Strengths: One of my strengths that I noticed, upon completing my paragraph analysis, was my focus on one main point in each paragraph. The way in which my QRG is formatted allows this to occur, because I acknowledge the varying points of view, between apposing sides of the controversy, pertaining to the debate topic within the heading of the cluster of paragraphs, pertaining to that given topic. I also feel that my ability to develop and link ideas coherently is quite strong, because the content of each paragraph has been well-planned out, as a result of the many effective sources that I found.

Weaknesses: A major weakness that I discovered through this process of paragraph analysis is my lack of proper transitions. When I first wrote my draft, I assumed that a new sub-heading was an adequate transition, but now I see that the opening sentence of a given paragraph needs a transition to keep the flow of the QRG. The internal organization of my paragraphs could also use some work. I am confident, however, that once I add more quotes and supporting detail to my work, my paragraphs will gain vastly improved internal organization.
