Reflective writing is a process where a writer describes a real or imaginary scene and adds a personal reflection to it. This process is further described in the Reflective Writing video. My research paper is a form of reflective writing because I put my personal opinion in the paper to answer the question “Should America provide universal healthcare to their citizens?”
Who did you work with to compose your research paper? Was this a good approach? I worked with myself as well as the authors of my sources to compose my research paper. This was a good approach because it gave me the evidence I needed to support my claims. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? The rhetorical mode I am using is argumentation. The rhetorical genre I am using is argumentation. When did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote this project over a little periods of time I had during my day. I set up a word goal for each day so I could meet the due date. This was a good approach because I did not try to cram it all into one night and I feel that by doing increments it allowed my paper to be better quality. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote some parts of this project while I was at high school and the other parts were written in my room. This was a good approach because I got to work in relatively quiet environments and this allowed me to have a better thinking process. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I chose to write about this topic because I know my family is not the only family that struggles with the prices of healthcare or to even find a decent priced healthcare provider. This was a good choice because I felt my claims were stronger because I could relate on a personal level. How did it feel to write this argument ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? It felt good to write this argument. I felt that i really got my point across and I feel that I really convinced people that America should have universal healthcare. I think I really knocked out the rebuttal as well. As of right now I do not have any “if only” moments. How will you revise your argument? I am not sure how I will revise my argument just yet. Maybe add some more rebuttals or first hand accounts of people experiencing trouble with America’s current healthcare system.

Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore, 2015, Where to Invade Next.
As mentioned in my 9th blog post, Where to Invade Next by Michael Moore is a film made to persuade Americans to adopt a new way of thinking towards the government. In the film Michael Moore compares how governments handle different types of situations involving it’s citizens. A few thing he compares are tuition fees, school hours and standards, and how cops/prisons treat their prisoners.
In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore travels to different countries to analyze their ways of government compared to America’s. America was having an issue with military and financial issues and they had asked Michael Moore what to do. Michael Moore traveled to countries like Slovenia and France to “steal” ideas from their government and bring them to America to incorporate them into America’s government. Examples of ideas Michael “stole” would be free tuition for college students and lunches that were gourmet and better for students in elementary, middle, and high school.
