DL#6 HW#3 Writing Project Reflection

The outline for WP#1 helped me a ton. For the rough draft of the project I responded to the different points provided. I think I did a good job completing this project. I am proud that I got my point across; alcohol can be dangerous if used too much. I am concerned that my topic might be too widespread and not narrow enough. I tried to narrow the topic to just keeping it at the dangers of alcohol because before my topic also included how alcoholism affects other people. I worked on not using contractions. I tend to write how I talk so I need to improve on my writing sounding more educated. I do want voice in my paper, but I don't want to sound like a high school student is writing it. What I did to avoid this was reread it afterwards outloud to check for mistakes, word misusage, and word flow.

I tend to write the same way I talk too. So what I do is have my friends proofread my papers and this tends to illiminate some of that.
