Reflection

          I learned many things in this genius hour and I plan to use this knowledge to further strengthen my essays and many other arguments. I learned that many things make a very effective essay, and those things I have learned in English class but now I feel that I have almost perfected my argumentative side. One other thing i learned while doing this research is that many things can make an effective essay for example, a strong thesis, strong body paragraphs and a strong way to bring the opposing side to their knees another thing i learned is that it is okay to revise the claim created to further expand knowledge of argumentative essays.
