I chose to read chapter 10: “The Art of Metacommentary.” This chapter informs the reader on how to add explanation to your argument so that the reader better understands what you are trying to say so that they don’t get the wrong idea. I chose to read this chapter because I thought it would help me better articulate my thoughts and organize my claims. I tend to struggle with having enough to say and this chapter gave me some tools to fix that. Using these techniques, I revised the following section of my essay:
I believe that the best way to solve any problem is with an integrated approach that incorporates ideas from multiple perspectives.
Revised:
I believe that the best way to solve any problem is with an integrated approach that incorporates ideas from multiple perspectives. What I mean by this is that we should not go into a problem with a closed mind. Instead, we must be open to multiple ideas that may differ from your own that might give you new insight that you would not have thought of on your own. This way we can use them to find the best and most secure way to solve a problem.
Woohoo! Well done! 🙂
