My Action Plan

I wasn't really given any constructive criticism in my review, so I'm not sure if my partner wanted me to change anything about my paper. However, there are a few things that I know I need to change before I submit my final draft.

1) In my first supporting paragraph, I paraphrase a sleep organization's website with the sentence, "The current recommended amount of sleep that college students should receive each night is 7-8 hours, as lesser amounts can result in sleep deprivation and other negative unwanted consequences." I don't mention the other consequences, which could help the other information and anecdotes I used in the paragraph. Also, I should improve the flow of that sentence by eliminating either "negative" or "unwanted" as they basically mean the same thing.

2) I tend to flip-flop between a first-person and a third-person focus throughout the paper. My thesis is primarily focused on college-students, so unless I change it to focus more on myself, I should modify paper to fit a third-person focus using my personal additions as supplements.

3) My conclusion could be fleshed out a bit more. It also has the conflicted focus that I mentioned in the point above, and should be revised accordingly.

5/14 Brainstorming Activity: Clustering

For this activity, I chose clustering over cubing. This was because I initially didn't know what topics I wanted to do my genre translation project on, which made it hard to complete the cubing exercise successfully. I started clustering by first looking at the possible ideas I wanted to explore further. The first topic I came up with was bioluminescence in deep sea fish. Since I enjoy biology and science in general, I thought that this would be a good possible topic. I then found a scholarly article discussing the causes and effects of the bioluminescence, which I categorized as the biological components and the effects on the ocean's ecosystem. The second topic I thought of was the effects that music can have on the brain. Once again, I searched for a scholarly article and found one that discussed the various effects that music can have, along with the potentials of music therapy. The next step I took was thinking of the possible types of genres I could translate the ar...
