Questions about my assignments 

• Do I need more of these (researched facts and statistics, examples, and expert opinions) to support my idea?
• I think it would be helpful if I added more statistics throughout my writing. 

• Would another example help me make my point more clear?
• I personally think my points are clear but I don't think it would hurt by adding a few more examples to make sure all of my points are clear.

• Have I identified or introduced all the experts to my readers?
• I have cited all of my sources, but I think I did a poor job introducing my experts. I should explain a little bit to my readers why they are experts. 

• Have I effectively used statistics in comparison with other statistics?
• No, I have not. I am having a hard time finding statistics so my writing is severely lacking statistics.

• Do any of my terms need to be defined for my readers?
• No. I do not use any technical terms and if I do, I defined them already. 

Other questions

• Does each section of my Webtext have a topic sentence or have I only listed the information?
• Each section has a topic sentence.

• Have I explained the significance of any lists I do offer? 
• I did not use any lists in my webtext.

Visuals in my webtext

• Have I created a caption for each of the visuals in my written text and does that caption suggest a relationship between its content and my topic?
• Yes I did do that for all of my visuals I used. 

• Have I explained all the charts/graphs/images I use to my audience?
• No. I honestly did not even mention my pictures. I should have mentioned the significance of each one.

• Have I discussed their significance to my main point or the point of the section?
• No I did not. I should defiantly do this next time.

Overall structure of webtext

• Do I need a more effective introduction that leads my reader into my main point?
• No. I believe that I did a good job explaining my main point in my introduction.

• Have I effectively broken up my text with appropriate headings reflecting the content of each?
• Yes. I made sure to break up my text so the reader does not get bored with long paragraphs.

• Are my anchor texts leading the reader to additional, meaningful information?
• Yes, all of my anchor texts lead to information that relates to my content and enhances it.

• Have I created anchor texts for any definitions I think are necessary?
• Yes I did.

• Have I written a conclusion that does more than summarize my webtext by offering my readers some reflection on the topic and a call to action?
• Yes. I mention in my conclusion that the readers should not "judge a book by its cover" and try their best to not add in their opinions when it is not necessary. 

• Have I given my readers enough secondary sources, recommended readings and such, to help them find additional information on my topic?
• Yes I did. I gave them a link to a video and a website to help them find additional information about my topic.
