Reviewing my classmates blogs I’m reminded to ensure all pertinent information is included on my annotated bibliographies (AB’s), such as retrieval dates and multi perspectives are represented. I also need to ensure my opinion is made clear on the topic itself, such as ‘I believe in that by lowering the voting age from 18 to 16 in America combined with parents, teachers and appropriate legislation would increase voter turn-out and improve the democracy of the United States.’
Latron & Ryan reviewed my WP#2 draft. Thanks to Latron for pointing out my conclusion did not completely specify where I stood on the issue. Ryan’s comment confused me a bit, but as he agreed with me, I’m ok with it.
Turnitin.com rated my paper with 28% match. After reviewing each article I could actually view, I determined it was all due to quotes and headline information for my AB’s. I will need to double check each of my cited sources and summary paragraphs to ensure I’ve quoted and labeled correctly.

Turnitin also gave me a 13% but it was also in the citations so I do not think it is a big deal since that part of the paper was something we had to copy.
I also got a 15% but it was mostly the citations. I did have one sentence that had some matching phrases but I don't think its something that I would have to worry about.
