rough draft attached
Below are my professors response to draft
It is definitely peer reviewed, so you are in the clear. I’m glad it came up so quickly. (Just remember to double space drafts at the beginning of the writing process. It makes your reading, writing, and editing easier). Likewise, it is far easier for me to read on the screen when it is double spaced.
I will see what I can do regardless. It’ll just be slower reading it.

I think you a tugging on lots of interesting ideas in this draft. It would likely be very helpful to choose a few of those to develop further, expanding the entire draft might make a truly massive piece).

Academic conversation can be broken into three moves that usually occur in the same paragraph together (not always in this precise order though) 1. Quote/data/summary (The anchoring into the conversation) 2. analysis (the examination of the thing very specific to the need and goal of the situation and the thing being examined) 3. I say moment (This is where you build out your argument and move forward towards your intended goal. This is where you can bridge between two scholars potentially) This is also where the ways of responding comment would come in if you get stuck.

Ideally, you want the summary and response to reflect each other in content and issues addressed. In the same way, that a PB and J sandwich has components that fit perfectly together and the balance that requires. This works for all academic writing the difference is that one half is summary, paraphrase, quotes and the other half is your response. It is this balance of moves that makes academic writing its own entity.

Ways of responding (This is not a complete list) application to a new situation, showing either agreement, disagreement, or agreement with a difference, addressing flaws within the argument (or merely pointing out the flaws), or most commonly showing the significance or signification of a specific point. Specifically, answering the “who cares” question or the “So what” question can be helpful for those writers who like to think about their writing from an audience’s perspective. There is also the “why does this matter” question. Likewise, considering what we have to gain or lose by agreeing, disagreeing, or continue to ignore a problem or issue.
