After reading through a few sections in my text book I have found a few strategies that can help me create a great first paper. Throughout my education I have been taught the basic set-up for a proper formal paper as far as structure. This is fine, but I am more interested in more specific suggestions that I am finding in the Writing Simplified textbook. Evaluating the structure of a paragraph is very important for me because I tend to jump impulsively from one idea to another, and taking more time to set up each idea into a paragraph will help my paper to flow smoothly. In my textbook, I found questions that I can use to evaluate each paragraph that is written to ensure that I am hitting every important point and giving specifics and details to support my point.
Since this first paper is about a personal experience I can write "my truth" instead of clarifying fact and opinions. What I mean by this is that I will be writing in my own voice about my own experience, not to persuade the reader in a certain direction, but to inform them of what my experience was. I have confidence that I will be able to create a sufficient paper with the new tools I have acquired from this class so far.
