Spend the first 10 minutes of class or so reflecting on what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of your rhetorical analysis. I think that my essay was pretty good, but, as always, I’m sure there was room for improvement. I think that I may have been too close to the material I was writing […]
On revision…What does it mean? How do you conduct revision? Revision to me is making something one has written better. As a writer you are close to the piece you are writing and know what you want to say and how it should sound. However, when writing it is easy to overlook errors for these […]
Think back to peer review on Wednesday and write a reflection about the feedback you received from your peers. Write about how you are or how you will use that feedback to revise your essay.
