Rough Draft Reflection:

Well, I don't know if I did this assignment right, I am still trying to figure this class out. I wasn't really sure what the requirements for this paper were or exactly how to write this paper, so i just guessed. The weaknesses of my rough draft is that i don't think it is long enough but im going to try to add to it for the final draft. also i dont think i compared enough in my draft. I just started to realize that my two articles dont really have any similarities so i was struggling with finding things to compare because it didnt have much in common. I wouldnt say this assignment was easy or difficult but i didnt really know how i was suppose to be writing it. all i knew is that we were suppose to compare the two and i found it hard to write a four page paper on just that.

Proposal

            Introduction: The topic of my two peer reviewed articles are, Transitioning students in the Educational atmosphere. I plan on comparing the articles and determining what are the similarities between the two authors writing.

The problem is that both authors feel like students with disabilities aren’t getting the correct help that they need in order to smoothly move forward with their education. Both authors have the same goal, which is to find a way to help teachers, administrators, and parents learn how to help their student further on with their education more easily.

I am going to thoroughly read both of the articles, high light and pull out the similarities between them and then analyze and explain how and why the content of the articles are the same, and how the authors both have the same motive and ideas to fix the problem.

Also in my synthesis paper I am going to point out how both the articles differ from each other and how the author’s ideas are different from each other. After reading the two articles I have decided that I agree with what both have to say.

In conclusion what I hope to accomplish by writing this paper is to show how the two articles are similar but also different as well. I also expect to learn how to better write a synthesis paper and prepare to write my research paper by learning more about the topic that I have chosen to write about.o

 Reflection:

this assignment was a little difficult for me. I know I am lacking length in my proposal, but I just had a hard time getting this to be a full page. I didn't know what else to write about because I feel like what I was proposing was able to be explained in a short amount. The strategies i used to complete this assignment were just the one we talked about in class. Questions and concerns that I have in this unit is just how do you write a synthesis paper without repeating yourself a lot? and I don't really know how to start it or determine the order of things when I write.
