Thank you for commenting on my pre-assessment. I understand that I have to be more careful when it comes to assessing other people's work, especially ones that sound factual, but can be the worst essay. I am easily fooled between essays that have voice and ones that sound very very business-y, professional, and sophisticated. It's because I don't realize that the best essays require voice and the involvement of the writer and their awareness of their audience. I didn't trust my gut. The essay wasn't interesting at all, only the first one.
I understand that I also have to be more specific when it comes to backing up my critique. I tend to think that saying "things of themselves" (as I wrote in my assessing of the essays) is specific enough. I will make sure to be more careful in the future. I will search for essays that have voice and ones that interest me. I should trust my gut more.
Thank you!! :)
