Getting Papers Back

forestofgloryLast night we workshoped my history paper in class. I was really tense even though no one said anything terrible. I'm pleased that the teacher said I had thought of something he'd never thought of. (He's thought a lot about this project.) On the other hand I really need to work on my writing, especially seeing paragraphs as unit and making them less clunky.
Another issue is I think things but don't write them - I call this leaving things in my head. Then there is the more fundamental problem where the paper is lots of details that don't quite add up to anything. (These two problems are not unrelated.)
I plan to work on varying sentence length and not repeating words. Those are nice concrete things I can fix. I am thinking about the other problems but am not quite sure what to do.
Do you remember the paper I wrote in a day? Well I got 11.5 out of 12 points for it!
