Recasting The Canterbury Tales - Stage 4.

Reflection.

      My composition evolved greatly from draft to draft. I took into account my peer's suggestions, particularly on how to redo my video. Matias and Colin were instrumental in giving me advice in regards to how my video should work. They gave great ideas and input, particularly on how fast my video should scroll, what pictures to include, what to leave out, and the background music.
      My final draft is set up in such a way where a viewer sees the video first and then reads my essay. My essay follows a pattern that clearly explains to a reader the differences and similarities between Chaucer's character of the Clerk and my character of an average Georgia Tech student.
      In composing this essay, I learned that it is easier for a reader to read ideas in a way where you get one idea out (the analysis of Chaucer's character) and then switch to the other idea (my character) as opposed to flipping back and forth between Chaucer's character and my character in the same paragraph. Although this may not always be the case, such as in a research paper, it works for this paper and analysis.
