Blog 9: Reverse Outlines and "Three Ways In"

I discovered I need to work on my organization, and quote layouts by completing my first reverse outline and “Three Ways In” exercise. During my first reverse outline I noticed that some of my quotes were length with no explanation. For my second draft I am working on shorting my quotes, and providing more of an argument. I feel like my points in my body paragraphs do not support my thesis at all; therefore, I am reconstructing my thesis sentence to have a strong paper. Exercise 4.3 helped me realize that I do not have an attention getter in my introduction paper. I want to add a story that my audience can relate to and make them want to continue reading. I am most likely going to add a story about the Michael Brown or Eric Gardner case, because I feel like they are popular stories in today’s media. Overall, I have a lot to do to set up my argument, and present quotes that support my argument.
