The most common error in this essay was misplacing periods. When quoting, I tended to put them before the page number of the quote, rather than after, and often had a period in the quotation itself. Another common mistake was that I would say that 'Fast Food Nation' rather than Schlosser. Sense everything in the book was written by Schlosser, I see that this was a mistake!
I found out that procrastination is a big no no for me. I kept thinking the entire time, "I'll work on it tomorrow,". Then it was due! I know I could have done a much better job if I had spaced out the work properly, like I did on the second draft. I also found that I have to examine my own essays with the evaluation that we learned in critical thinking. It would have solved many problems that I didn't even see until now.
Again, grammar wasn't too much a problem, though it was more so than the draft before. Punctuation was a problem this time though. This surprised me because I normally have less problems in punctuation than anything else! Its because I rushed too much, and didn't spend enough time double checking.
In this draft, I didn't use as many of my resources as I could have. I followed the problem solution intro strategy and the call to action conclusion.
