Annotated Bibliography Second Draft Reflection

        The most helpful piece of advice that I got from Megan was that in three of my annotated bibliographies, my second paragraph included information that was appropriate for the third paragraph. This is important because it made me realize that I did not fully understand the process of analyzing the sources. I can go back to notes taken in class and reevaluate the way I approached the sources and how to analyze them and find their strengths and weaknesses.
        Megan had a valid and good point on all of the advice she left me. After reading through them all, I do not find one of them to be "least helpful". I plan to take everything she said into consideration during my revision. The misuse of quotation marks will probably be my last priority, but is definitely still helpful to my paper.
        I did not have any questions about Megan's comments specifically. Instead, I was wondering how I could improve my analysis of the sources. I am not exactly sure what qualifies as a "strength" or "weakness".
        My plans for revision start with fixing the contents of my paragraphs. I plan to have a better separation between the summary, the analysis, and how it will help me. After making sure the content is in the appropriate order, I plan to fix the position of the quotation mark in the first paragraph. Then I plan to revise sentences that did not quite make sense, and make sure my point clearly is explained to my reader. Also, I plan to make sure that I take third person out of every paragraph except the third. Then I need to figure out a way to write some portions of my paper more formally, like Megan suggested.
