Looking through the draft of my paper, I highlight the things that are someone else's ideas and I highlight the things that are my own ideas. I used yellow for others' ideas, and I used orange for mine.
Which color dominates? The color that was definitely dominate was the orange, my ideas have come out most frequently.
Are you turning over too much of the text to your sources? No, I think there is a good balance when there is other peoples' ideas.
Are you ignoring them and rattling on too much about what you think? No, there are a lot of my own ideas, but I think that the interaction between the two works well because their ideas influence mine.
Does your source use seem appropriate to support your purpose? Yes, I think the interaction that is created between the two makes for a good conversation in the paper.
Looking at the pattern of the colors, and the interaction between the two differing ideas:
What do you notice about this pattern? There is obviously a lot more of my ideas but I think that the interaction between my ideas and other peoples' ideas is of good balance, and it creates a good conversation.
Are you taking turns paragraph by paragraph with your sources or is your own analysis and commentary nicely blended within paragraphs, so that the information is always anchored to your own thoughts? I definitely blended my own insight with other peoples' ideas well. I mainly would start with their ideas then I based my own thoughts off of theirs and it would create a conversation.
Do you surround quoted passages with your own voice and analysis? Yes, I usually summarize what the author was saying then I provide my own insight or thoughts on the idea.
