Task 1 Reflection

For my revised Task 1 I pretty much rewrote the entire paper. Since I was missing most of the key points from the assignment from the get go in my original paper, I decide to leave in only what I found necessary, which wasn't a lot. Nevertheless, in this revised version I believe I have included every necessary aspect of the paper as detailed in the rubric, such as a research plan, research questions, and a better description of the community activity. Starting at the beginning, I began by reintroducing my topic as specifically online bass fishing communities and then listing the two websites I plan to focus my research on. I then explained these two sites in detail, I explained how their posts work, how the lexis works in each community, and how the websites members interact with one another. After thoroughly explaining the communities and the role of my threshold concept in these communities communication, I then inserted my two missing research questions! Throughout the rest of the paper I then correctly addressed how I would research each question I proposed, including how I would observe community post and activities to find out certain things about each communities use of lexis. In the end, I realized that my original draft didn't really have any of the key elements that the paper required, and that to include these elements I would have to rewrite the paper more effectively, which is exactly what I believe I accomplished this time around.
