This post, I decided to go a bit more in depth with my outline for the analysis paper. Now that I have the sources I want to use I need to organize how I will present them. This post will be beneficial to me because it will map out each part of my paper. The peer analysis paper review we had in class on monday really made me realize how I wanted to write my paper. At first, I was a bit confused how to put my opinions and resources to use in my paper. After class I had a better understanding of how to write this paper.
For my introduction, I wanted to first give a little background on female serial killers to draw the reader in. I will include a fascinating fact that I will consider the hook in my paper. After background information on my topic I want to focus on why I picked this topic.
My body paragraphs will include insight on my community blogs. At this point, I have narrowed down two options for how I want to write my body paragraphs. My first option is focusing on one community blog for each body paragraph. I would write three body paragraphs each focusing on three community blogs. Option two was to focus on three different issues in each body paragraphs. These issues would be ones that I found within my blog community that, not only I have discussed but others had to.
The conclusion will include any ending thoughts I have on this topic. I will also add how I have grown as a blogger overtime. After I will answer if i believe I feel apart of this topics blogging community or not, and adding my reasons why. My closing sentences will give advice to other new bloggers on how to approach this topic.
I am most comfortable with using MLA format when writing papers. I had never explored any other formats before. After class on monday I realized that my topic, which has to do with my major in criminology, uses APA format. I would like to attempt APA format for my first rough draft that is due next monday.
I think this was a great post for you--I know you diverged from speaking about actual serial killers, but I think writing about writing can help us clarify what you want to discuss in that analysis paper. Your beginning here is excellent: for introduction and part 2 (community). However, I don't quite know if you can fit everything else in to the conclusion. Give yourself space to break beyond the traditional 5-paragraph essay. Analyzing your part in the community might take a few paragraphs, as will what's working/not working. Finally, your suggestions will also need some space to grow. Good luck!
