For Outcome 1, I decided to analyze my work focusing on my in-text citation skills improving over time. My three examples are based off of the reading response activities that were required in the first unit. My first reading response is based off of the reading from Johns & Wardle and Downs. This reading talks about genres and the roles that they play in reading and writing. In this reading response, my format for my in-text citations was pretty poor, because they were not formatted in an MLA style at all. I did not include the page number the information was found on nor the authors name, both two vital components of an MLA style in-text citation. 

​

My second reading response artifact is about a reading we did on Stuart Greene. In this reading my citations improved, having the proper format, the only noticeable problem with it was that there was a comma in the in-text citation when there should not have been. With Greene focusing on analyzing text and getting involved, it made it easy to analyze this reading to make sure  got the most out of it. He talks about framing a research question properly, which really helped me format mine. 

 

In my third reading response artifact, I used my response on Lunsford's article as my final example because it was my best reading response. This reading was about determining primary research methods and how to retain and analyze information from them. With the response, I demonstrated an improvement in in-text citation by get a 5 out of 5 on the assignment. The in-text citations were written in the proper manner, with the right information and the proper format.
