Drafting a section with evidence
Creating an Argument: what do I need to work on?
Topic sentence:
I have had to work on creating an original argument this semester, creating a good thesis, and organizing my paper. When revising each paper, these are the three components I have noticed that I need to change.

Drafting cont’d
Context:
This has been the first class in which I have been taught to pick the focus of my paper. In all of the assignments this year, I have been able to come up with a specific focus before the first draft was due but it did not always come easily. I have learned that if I work at finding my own argument long enough, I will eventually find a specific focus to my paper that will work well.

Evidence:
In the unit 3 assignment, I struggled with coming up with a thesis. I came up with several that were very similar to one another but not quite right. Eventually, I came up with a specific focus. After coming up with a focus for my paper, I have found that it makes it much easier to use sources to support rather than using them to construct my paper and ideas.
Your evidence could be an example (like this), or a quote, or example + quote

Analysis:
Like Margaret Kantz’s fictional student Alice, I learned that the “facts” I read in my sources are really a kind of “claim.” This knowledge enabled me to question and evaluate my sources in order to create an argument. Although I haven't mastered the art of creating an original argument, I am well on my way, which will help me to continue to become a good writer in the future.
Might help to connect to scholars; should connect to your definition of good writing

Conclusion: Asking for a grade is super awkward
Give evidence to support
Efforts in and out of class
Evidence of learning
Scores
Include some sort of closing (it is a letter, after all)

Conclusion
This semester I have put in a great deal of effort to do my best in this class. I have turned in and done well on all of my assignments. I started out with an 8.5 on the first paper and only went up from there. Even though I did well on my papers, I continued to revise them to make them as close to "perfect" as possible. I have done well on the papers, assignments, attended every class, and completed this portfolio according to your instructions. Not only have I received high grades, but I have also demonstrated my understanding of complex concepts, such as rhetorical situation, writing processes, and discourse communities. Therefore, I believe an A is a very logical choice when determining my grade this semester. Thank you for all your help and support this semester! Best of luck with your future classes.
