What I Go Through

My writing, is not all that complex in the way I go about writing. Writing with me starts with putting my thoughts down on paper. Taking those thoughts, I start thinking about a story and trying to make that story make sense. My first ideas are put into the rough draft, where ideas are there and the paper is saying what I want to say but it's not 100% the way it should be. After revising the first draft, I look at what Stephanie put and I go from there correcting my mistakes. I take her comments and I build from there. The way I go about correcting her comments, I either take out stuff that may be not important, I may take stuff and re-word it, other times I will take the information and place it in a different part of my paper. Finally, after correcting my paper I go over it by reading it several times and when the paper makes sense to me, I turn it back in.

So far this semester, I haven't had the privilege of receiving peer response like we got back in 110. I know that there will be plenty of that soon when we begin to write our papers after spring break. I will use what the peers have written about my paper and also what Stephanie has to say about it and use it greatly when I go to write my paper again.

  1. I think that peer review is my favorite part about writing. Getting a teacher's opinion and help is important but it can be more meaningful comping from a student depending on what the topic is. I loved how the class was structured last semester with the editing process. I feel like I was able to get a great deal of effective feedback. I can't wait to get that this semester! Nice blog. :)

  2. Devin (and Ashley), I'll be really interested to get your feedback on the EGs since it's so different than the approach we took last semester.
