Crucible Essay Draft Refelction

       I thought researching the for the draft was a bit of work but very rewarding. When I was writing the draft I was confindent in what I was writing and finishing the draft felt like a succcess. I had a bit of trouble with the citations because many of them were hard to find information on.
       The pre-writing activities helped me narrow down what I wanted to research for the draft and write my paper on. In future essays instead of using a bulletted outline I would use a different type of outline. I think in the future I would use the grapic organizer instead because it provides more room for information and everything is all in one line together.
       The peer editing helped me organized my paper and learn where to make paragraph breaks. I learned a lot from reading someone else's draft. Although they did the same prompt and same event for the mass hysteria it was structured differently and had tons of great information. I used the peer editing sheet profusely when I was editing the draft, the adivce they gave me helped me see what I needed to touch up.
        I think the strengths in my essay are the similarities to the unfairness of how the trials of the Salem Witch Trials and the Holocaust were conducted. Both groups of people suffered much of the same injustice yet they place nearly 200 years apart. The weaknesses of paper are not being specific enough in some parts and not having good enough transitions between paragraphs. In my next revison I will focus on being more specific and having better transitions between all of my paragraphs.
