My working thesis statement is:
"The Social Network" was extremely well received due to the unique yet effective cinematographic choices, it raises timeless questions but also brings contemporary issues to the forefront.
This thesis is not very strong nor specific, this weekend, I am planning on altering it and making it more specific. In order to do this, I need to go to the next step in my writing process which is to look at the points I have organized in my rough draft and then synthesize them with my thoughts and insight- make it more cohesive and more in an essay format. My plans for the paper are as follows.
1. Consider the insights provided by my peers through peer responses.
2. Go through this rough draft and in another color write my own, individual thoughts and comments on the research I provided. Then I will see where that takes me-- maybe reorganizing it, if that is the direction I'm heading it?
3. Review the organization
4. Write the essay using this detailed plan (and obviously include the MLA style research citations and all.)
5. Revise, then most likely alter the intro and conclusion that probably need to change because I'm sure I changed a lot of my body paragraphs.
6. Edit and Revise
7. Conference with Bridget then see what I need to do next!
For My Peer Responders:
My writing process is different than most people, but it really works for me. I apologize if it is confusing. Basically, what I did was go through my printed research articles and highlight key points and then write next to them ideas and such. Then, I put the research ideas and quotes on a Microsoft doc then made them into different characters and created a possible sequence/flow for them. There are a few spots where I mention my own thoughts, but not too often. The questions I would like you to respond to are:
1. Do you think this research will create an effective essay?
2. Do you think that my body paragraph topics will be an effective way to organize this?
