Prompt: Writing is a process, and the first draft is rarely perfect. Strong writers improve their work through revision. After reviewing and revising your literary argument paragraph, what changes did you make to strengthen your writing?

Prompt: Writing is a process, and the first draft is rarely perfect. Strong writers improve their work through revision. After reviewing and revising your literary argument paragraph, what changes did you make to strengthen your writing?

Prompt Response: I realized I completely forgot to add quotes and evidence into my writing. I am not sure how I forgot to put it into my writing but I did. I made sure to add quotes into both of my evidence sections. I also fixed some small spelling and grammar errors. I also decided to make my conclusion sound stronger and more to the point of my argument. 

Summary: I was not at school because I had a raging headache, but I still got my work done.

Reflection: I am feeling a little better about my essay but still a little scared.

I was so scared to begin anything with roller coasters but now I do not even feel fear getting on to very extreme rides.  summary: In the end people should always try new things even if they are scared. Being scared make you human but you h...

Prompt: Why is drafting an essential step in the writing process rather than going straight to a final version? Use your own experience from this essay to explain how drafting improved (or revealed weaknesses in) your thinking. Prompt Response:  At first before drafting I felt nervous as to where to start. But now I feel very content and not stressed about my essay. I feel like writing it down made me realize that I am a good writer and that I have almost half of my essay done. I think I will do much better now. I also think that being able to organize my thoughts reassures me to make changes if needed. Summary: I am enjoying how we are given time to really think about our essays and how to make sure they are perfect. Reflection: I think I forgot to talk about the stranger things play I went to last weekend on my last post. I really enjoyed the show and it was much better than I thought it would be. I am super glad I went but I am glad I will be home this weekend.
