Question Prompt 3

If you read the assignment thoroughly I think that you will have a better chance at understanding it.  If you read it before beginning you will know what to start your writings on.  If you read it after beginning it will keep you on track when writing the paper.  If you read it after finishing your first draft you will be able to make sure you stayed on topic and you did everything correct.

If you need to play "consider the evidence" on a person experience paper you can use yourself as a main source.  You can also use people you know and are close to you if the subject applies to the and use their evidence.  This way the argument will still be form personal experience and not from news feeds or other sources that are not close to you.

The characteristics from "Three Characteristics of Academic Writing" are on the rubric under the outstanding column.  If you add these three characteristics to your paper when your writing and revising it your paper will be superb and not just a mediocre or under-average paper.  This will help you get your point across more clearly to your audience, and they will most likely fully understand where your coming from.
