Things I should try to do when revising my draft

1- I tend to get very repetitive so I have to learn how to remove that from my writing when I’m revising my essay.

2- Add more details about the topic that I’m discussing because sometimes I tend to go off topic and then the reader gets really lost.

3- While revising my draft I have to work on removing all grammer mistakes.

Things I should try to do when revising my draft…

1. State a good thesis

2. Not have  repetitive sentences and be straight to the point.

3. Have an interesting introduction to catch the readers attention and be wanting to read more.

Things I should do when revising my draft are

1)Make sure my paper is interesting enough to catch reader’s attention

2) I should use proper vocabulary,grammar and tense so that my paper is easy to understand.

3)It should be specific and free of mistakes and organized.

Things I should do better when revising my draft is

• To make sure that my paper is grasping readers attention from the very beginning
• Learn how improve my writing style to make it better
• use different vocabulary and try to use more  transitional words

Things I should do for making my draft better are

1. Making the essay more reasonable.
2. Fixing some sequences to improve the unity and deleting redundant words.
3. Enhancing my ideas to catch the readers.

Things I should do better when revising my draft

1. Catch the reader’s attention, I think is the most important one because if I don’t do it at the begging of the  text they’re going to get bored.
2. Take out the extra words or no repeating the same thing, it will make the text unprofessional.
3. Make a good thesis.

1: I should take out some transition words, because my writing have a lot of them, make my work been weak.

2: Write down more information that could catch readers’ attention.

3: Add more details on how to change my writing structure from terrible to improvement.

Some thing that I would do to revise my draft would include:

• Make connections:How does this paragraph relate to what I’m talking about.

• Write a bold beginning: I need to figure out what the readers really wants.

• Focus on individual paragraphs:I should make little paragraphs instead of one big paragraph.
• Be specific:Add details and background information.

Read the essay by Giles on Reflection and Revision.

Then address this prompt: Based on what you’ve read and what we’ve discussed in class, brainstorm some ideas about what you want to do to revise the draft you’ve done. What do you think you can/should do next?

Remember: revising doesn’t mean line editing (although you’ll want to do that, too); revising means re-thinking, re-seeing, expanding ideas, re-organizing, throwing out, adding…

Also remember that you’ll be getting notes from me and from your writing partners next week so you can write Revised Draft. After that, you’ll get more notes from me that you can address when you do your Final Revision for the Final Portfolio.
