What you still need to learn/do for your final project
I want to first say, how I have never really tapped into close reading like this. This class has definitely made me learn a new set of skills when it comes to writing. I need to work on my defining moments in close reading. I have a clear idea of what I want to say, but I get lost in translation when I’m trying to express why it matters. So I think Dr. Pressman’s comments on both of my essays, I will be taking that to heart to make sure I am delivering the best final I can give to her.
I want my ideas to be fully clear because I have so much to say when it comes to my final idea.
Hello Sam! I feel the same way about close reading. I don’t think I have close reading before or to this extent. I am glad she has pushed us with her comments on our papers! I was able to push my grade on the first paper up a whole letter grade from her comments! I want to continue close reading other works and even reread Moby Dick in the future and close read again! Wishing you the best for your final essay!
