Question 1
2 / 2 pts
Which of the following is not an effective “checklist” item for topic sentences of body paragraphs during drafting?
Finding good arguments in support of your thesis by browsing the internet and rephrasing them as your own paragraph topic sentences
Checking to see that your topic sentences contain the most relevant and effective transitional words and phrases possible
Making sure that in your topic sentences, you aren’t making a big or confusing “leap” in ideas from the previous paragraph
Making sure your topic sentences are all of your own creation and all express a clear point directly related to your thesis statement
If you are going back to the drawing board for more research, you must continue to locate scholarly sources and to use them in a viable manner, within your paragraphs, not in your topic sentences, fully cited. It is plagiarism to find ideas and pass them off as your guiding essay structure.
Question 2
2 / 2 pts
Which of the following is an effective final sentence of your entire essay?
Now that I have told you why we need local clinics, you should also think about why we need to encourage vaccinations in the U.S.
Do you want to support local clinics, or do you want to be responsible for possibly losing a life, a life that could be the next President or the next Albert Einstein?
Consider the impact that improving access to local clinics will have on the children who most need it; we can save lives, lives that may go on to improve the world in major ways.
That’s just my opinion; you can take it or leave it.
We want our final sentence of the essay (of the conclusion) to leave the reader thinking in larger contexts about the topic at hand. We do not want to insinuate that not agreeing with us equates not wanting to save a life, and we don’t want to open a new topic, announce what we have done in the paper, or be wishy-washy/passive-aggressive in talking directly to the reader.
Question 3
2 / 2 pts
After writing the full draft of your essay, why should you revisit your introduction and review, and possibly adjust, it?
Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is too mild in tone. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and be aggressive and combative, making our voice an “angry yell” vs. a “reasonable assertion.”
Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is lacking in humor. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and insert a joke because humor is essential to good argument.
Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is in good enough shape, with an attention-grabber, background information, and thesis. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and fine-tune each of those elements for maximum effectiveness and for good, logical flow between each sentence.
Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is too assertive. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and adjust our wording so the reader understands that we do not have an opinion on the topic either way.
We should revise for effectiveness in each sentence of the introduction paragraph, according to strong argument technique. We should not attempt to sound “angry,” nor should we “erase” our opinion or tell a joke for the sake of telling a joke. In fact, it’s often not a good idea because the topics for argument are usually important enough to people that making a joke may convey a lack of seriousness on your part and damage your credibility.
Question 4
2 / 2 pts
When writing a full essay draft, which of the following should be avoided?
Creating a solid plan that you can work from while drafting, such as an outline or other organizational point of reference
Writing freely, with no plan, so that all of your ideas get on the page
Checking, after writing body paragraphs, that they are smooth, driven by your own voice, and fulfill the purpose of your essay by strengthening your stance
Making sure that each paragraph begins with your voice, provides support, and fully explains the relevance of the support
A draft is the full essay, which means it demonstrates structure, unity, and organization at the whole-paper and paragraph levels. Freewriting is an excellent pre-writing strategy, but it has no place in the formal draft. If you need to stop and generate more ideas while drafting, go to a separate notebook page or document and do some freewriting and brainstorming if needed. Then, work those ideas into your organized, unified structure.
Question 5
2 / 2 pts
Should the first draft of your essay include your supporting details?
Yes, but just a few of your supporting details. You will fill in the rest during your final draft.
No. Your draft should be your introduction, just a few body paragraphs (not all), and your conclusion.
Yes, but only in outline form. Write your major paragraphs, then list the details as notes under each.
Yes; you should assume that the first draft is your full essay, including everything you would write for a final draft.
Your first draft is the full draft of your essay, including every portion fully composed, including supporting details integrated and synthesized smoothly and effectively. If you leave any portions out, you will not be receiving the feedback you need.
Question 6
2 / 2 pts
Why should we make every effort to go from “good” to “great” in our first full draft?
If we go from “good” to great in our first draft, then when our feedback from the instructor and from our peers comes in, we can be confident that we don’t have to do anything with that feedback. We’ve already done our very best in the first draft.
If we submit a draft that we feel is “good” but that we know we will make stronger later, then the feedback we receive from our instructor and peers will not be as relevant in helping us with what we truly need. The feedback will likely address items we are already planning to improve upon and already have in mind what we will do in those places vs. items we authentically need “a second set of eyes” for.
If we submit a “great” draft the first time around, that means we can slide through the final few weeks because we do not need revisions.
If we submit a draft that we feel is “good” but that we know we will make stronger later, we will have to listen to a bunch of feedback and criticism, which is annoying.
Going from “good” to “great” in the very first draft allows for much, much more effective feedback all around, and we should welcome and attend to it. What’s more, the amount of feedback we receive should not be the only factor in how much revision we do. It is our responsibility to take what we have learned and studied and apply it with our own critical thinking skills toward the best final essay possible.
Question 7
2 / 2 pts
After you have finished writing your draft, which of the following is the most effective course of action?
Re-reading the draft and making adjustments for all crucial items: flow, structure, voice, balance, unity, clarity for your reader, then submitting your draft
Turning it in without looking at it any longer and relying on your instructor to tell you how to make it better
Submitting it before you write the conclusion; the conclusion is not part of the actual draft.
Change your mind about your stance and re-write your thesis only; you can change your stance in the rest of the paper later, after the instructor reviews it.
While receiving feedback from your instructor is good, you should submit the very best version of your paper you can. You must practice going from “good” to “great” before a draft is submitted so your instructor can focus on the issues you may be unaware of instead of those you are already planning to address. Also, the conclusion is indeed an organic, connected, necessary part of the draft. Finally, while we do sometimes change our stance during the writing process, any changes need to be fully applied conceptually to the entire draft, not just to the thesis.
Question 8
2 / 2 pts
.Which of the following is the most reasonable mindset while submitting your draft?
You understand that while you haven’t run through the draft after the first time you wrote it, your instructor will point out everything you need to do.
You understand that you will not be able to make any changes to the draft once you have submitted it to for grading and that unless your instructor tells you to correct items, your draft now will be the same draft you submit as the final draft later.
You understand that the only changes you will make moving forward will be the exact changes your instructor asks you to make- nothing else.
You understand that while this draft is as good as you can possibly make it right now, you will revise it much more after you’ve had some distance, to come back and see it with “fresh eyes,” and after you have received multiple forms of feedback.
We should submit the best draft possible, re-reading, revising as needed, before submitting. However, we should also understand that this is just the beginning of making the draft “great.” We recognize that later, we will come back to it with our own critical thinking skills to apply the best practices we have learned and to make it stronger.
IncorrectQuestion 9
2 / 2 pts
Which of the following represents the most effective “going from good to great” revision approach to the following sentence that appears in the middle of a paragraph and that uses source material? Original sentence: Howard (2020), notes that the communities most in need of nutrition education are those that need it most.
Revised sentence(s): Howard notes that the communities most lacking in nutrition education are those that need it most. “It’s a sad situation” (2020, p. 34).
Revised sentence: To further cement this imbalance between need and services, Howard (2020) notes that the communities most lacking in nutrition education are those that demonstrate the most ineffective nutrition practices.
Revised sentence(s): Howard (2020) notes that the communities most in need of nutrition education are those that are least served. I agree with Howard because, as I noted in my thesis, we need to look at where the need lies and where it is not being met.
Revised sentence: “These communities truly need it but are not being given it” (Howard, 2020).
When going from “good to great,” we should think about our voice and how we guide the reader and give the reader context with transitional materials. We should not leave any quotation freestanding without any connecting material in our own voice, and we should not quote when a paraphrase will work (We should also be aware of correct in-text citation rules for quotations). Finally, we want to watch our phrasing and eliminate circular argument, and we do not want to use “I.”
Question 10
2 / 2 pts
Which of the following represents the most effective “going from good to great” revision approach to the following topic sentence? Original topic sentence: Furthermore, statistics prove this point.
Revised topic sentence: Furthermore, comparative statistics on post-miscarriage divorce and mental disorders shed more light on the real need for immediate miscarriage counseling in smaller community hospitals (Yung, 2018).
Revised topic sentence: Also, statistics will show you that immediate miscarriage counseling in smaller community hospitals is needed.
Revised topic sentence: Furthermore, here are some comparative statistics on post-miscarriage divorce and mental disorders.
Revised topic sentence: Furthermore, comparative statistics on post-miscarriage divorce and mental disorders shed more light on the real need for immediate miscarriage counseling in smaller community hospitals.
Our topic sentence should not just transition; it should transition powerfully with our own wording that ties the new paragraph to the previous paragraph and indicates the reason for this paragraph. In addition, we should avoid “you” and should not let a source be the voice of our topic sentence.
