For my WP1, I have made the common mistake that most students coming out of high school seem to make. Luckily, this is the start of my “essay writing” career, so I have room to improve. The mistake is this: that structural five paragraph essay that you learn in your later years of elementary school and carry out into your high school years. Although I wasn’t trying to structure my WP1 like that, I can honestly say it’s natural to me and it’s what I’m used to. This structural approach is definitely not the most effective, and by saying so, I will learn from my mistake of writing in that form.

The changes that I will make to my WP1 include laying out all my ideas into separate paragraphs (even if they overlap), building off of what I said in the previous paragraph to have everything make more sense, and modifying my ideas to make them connect back to my argument. In my WP1, it’s very hard to understand the point I am trying to make because all of my ideas are sort of jumbled together. To change this, I’m going to spread my ideas out into multiple paragraphs, allowing a clearer focus on my main ideas. Then, I will mention my simple thoughts in the introductory paragraphs and allow the more complex thoughts that build off of my other ideas to be brought up later on in my paper. Finally, I’m going to make sure all of my ideas relate back to my argument so there is less confusion and more of a main focus.
