REFLECTION LETTER: Dear Dr.

Hartman, I felt like this working draft was probably one of the most difficult working drafts we have had to write this semester. Trying to make an argument and taking a stand on a topic with researching the information was the most difficult process for me. One thing I did enjoy about this piece is learning more about a topic that interests me. It feels like I had the basics of the effects of fast food in my info graphic and with this piece I was able to dive deeper to understand this topic with more information and also by adding my own examples into this topic. The piece felt more personal rather than strictly informational or statistical. Rating myself for this piece, I think I did a great job and I feels like I hit on the key elements that I wanted to take a stand on. My information in this piece is precise with and provides clear and relevant information backed by reliable cited sources. I have a total of 5 sources one in which is a library database source. I have a substantial amount of process work for this piece. I found the sticky note activity the most helpful because it gave me a better understanding of how to construct my paper. The people who gave me feedback was constructive and clear which really helped a lot when I went back to finish writing this piece. The purpose of this working draft is to inform people though my personal experience and with factual information the effects of fast food and is fast food to blame for our obese society. With my opinions, along with cited information, I feel like I am proficient in rhetorical knowledge of this piece. My audience is for anyone who routinely goes to fast food restaurants. All of my sources have been cited for this piece with little to no grammatical mistakes. This assignment also helped me with how to look at research on our library homepage. This was the first time I had to gather information through our library database. I know this will be helpful with future assignments in other classes.
