My goal for this major paper is to incorporate different multimodal elements, strengthen my thesis, claim sentences and find better-supporting information. At first, my claim sentences had no relevance to what I was addressing and the sentences did not connect back to my thesis. I wrote to write something down on the paper, however, that did not get me anywhere. After that, I think sitting with Professor Emerson and really understanding what a claim sentence and thesis were to have it truly helped improve these two elements. Another, area of weakness that I struggle with is finding the correct quotes that support my argument and relate back to the main argument of my paper. In order to achieve my goal, I need to take my time and produce an outline. Producing an outline allows me to have a setup and express my ideas in an orderly fashion. This outline will allow me to produce a better thesis and be able to connect it to my claim sentences but also, my supporting information. With the multimodal elements, I will embed my podcast into my paper, images of wealth and the last element I have yet to come up with an idea for yet. If I am having a difficult time producing these multimodal elements that I will contact Professor Emerson or reach out to peers to help me achieve this goal.
You are on the right track! I think you should definitely stick to working with outlines. A reverse outline can REALLY help organize your thoughts.
