First off, the title of my synthesis paper is just synthesis, so it is a good bet that a reader would have no clue what it is going to be about. So my title is not an example of metacommentary. The only part of the paper that has a clear use of metacommentary, though weak, is the ending paragraph. This paragraph deals with "So what?" and "Who cares?". There are many parts of the paper that I could add metacommentary that would expand and strengthen the authors as well as my own arguments.
Examples-
At the end of the second paragraph: In other words, with the shift from hard sources, such as textbooks, to the hyperspeed of the internet, students aquire a need for information to be learned and transacted at a more instantaneous speed. This will have a dangerous affect since the brain is better at absorbing and retaining information when done at a more adequate pace, such as when done through books and other literary orientated devices.
Somewhere in the last paragraph: My point is not that we should completely banish technology from the classroom, but that we should be weary of letting it eclipse the true nature and necessities of education. Which to me, forever will be a teacher and students interacting and exchanging ideas through discussions.
