Carlos Lugo – Re-vision Process

Having someone check your work for mistakes you could’ve made is a great thing. This doing such, can help you improve in certain areas such as Grammar or even help you give the reader a better understanding of what you are writing about. From the reviews i received about my draft there’s places where i can definitely improve such as getting to my point faster and not give extra information (background) about a certain person or thing because it wouldn’t matter in the situation. In My draft Ā i was also showed that i need to make what my topic is about because i am writing about a lot of things at the same time. I also realized i missed the main assignment because i didn’t choose one rhetorical choice from my choice of readings and most importantly i didn’t make clear which reading i chose to write about between “Dream” And “Jail”. Ā i must also cite where i am getting my information from such as quotes i might be using or things like that. A positive thing this process shows is that i have knowledge on my readings and i am familiar with a lot of the rhetorical choices king makes which can help me a lot when i decide which one to focus on for my final draft. There’s a lot of huge improvements i must make to my essay be successful and succeed in this assignment.

What I got from my peer revision from my partner was mistakes I wouldnā€™t see in my perspective. My partner showed me my writing could explain more. One positive thing my partner said about my writing was that it is well constructed and written with details. When she made the assumption that my work was good because of my writing and how much details was put into it. I felt my writing was getting better, but I can improve it. She also added that my choice of metaphor explain the powerful quote of MLK. There were many things negative my partner said to me. Negative things my partner said my writing was that I need to improve on explaining my topic more. My metaphors wasnā€™t specific and really related to the topic. My partner said that my rhetorical feature wasnā€™t explained how it was interesting. She kept saying I should improve on explanation and using the metaphors in a certain way. My writing to her was good because of my information. The negativity of my writing is explaining my rhetorical choice in a way my readers can understand, and my partner said that I need to improve on that mostly. She kept it specific and made me understand what was wrong with my writing and that my information should be an explanation of the quote of MLK. My weakness overall is explanation and re-reading because my partner clearly said I need to work on it to get my writing to be better.

Kiana Fraser-Handel Re-Vision Process

The re-vision process showed me how my writing has some minor mistakes that need to be fix but also some good features. The one positive feature that my partner pointed out to me in the peer review exercise was my ability to break down contents in writing, like quotes, sentences and words, to help the reader have a better understanding of them.This means that I explain what a quote or statement means by breaking them down word by word so it will be easier to understand. I also define certain words for the reader so they will be less complicated to know. However, the one negative feature that my partner pointed out to me was my inability to elaborate on certain topics in my writing that I’ve never notice before.For instance, I didn’t elaborate more on my rhetorical choice for my essay, which was “metaphor,” but instead I added up elaborating more on a different rhetorical choice, “allusion,” which I also didn’t notice I was doing.Overall, this exercise showed me that while I’m great at breaking down contents for readers to understand better, I need to work on elaborating more on certain topics or statements in my writing so that I don’t make the same mistake in the future. I believe that the re-vision process is very helpful as it can help writers understand what mistakes they made that they didn’t notice before so that they will make sure that it doesn’t happen again in any future writings. I will make sure to use this lesson for my final draft so I can make sure that I elaborate more on my rhetorical choice and not make the same mistake twice.

Shemar Watson Revision Process

When I was writing my rhetorical analysis I really didn’t have an idea in my head of what I really wanted to portray on my essay. I was stuck on one thing for so long. Not really sure about what rhetorical analysis to focus on but if I focused on multiple I would have to explain all of them. I didn’t really fully understand what to write in general. One positive aspect on the revision that helped we was peer editing what I did wrong to help me write the essay over with a better understanding. I was lost writing this rhetorical analysis. Another positiveĀ thing about my writing is that when I write It makes sense and doesn’t have the reader all over the place lost. At the same time IĀ still need help with the sentence structures because its gets confusing becauseĀ some evidence is more powerful than others, and I’m notĀ entirely sure about how to go about that andĀ turn it into something the reader would love to grab and continue reading.Ā I’ve noticed I tend to repeat a lot of sentences and reword them to give them a deeper sentence. The negative aspect is that I could use stronger words to describe or portray the fact. When I read over the essay I’ve noticed that I use a lot of strong evidence but with weak sentence and weak sentenceĀ  structures. I tend to go on with run on sentences and not put commas in my writings.

Saleem Ali Re-vision Process

The re-vision process is a helpful tool that writers can use to improve their weakest points. One positive feature that is shown in my writing by using the re-vision process was the structure of my essay. My partner said that my essay was easy to comprehend, and very well put together. As I was writing my essay, I thought the structure of my work was the weakest part overall. I felt as if my ideas were mixed up, in a non orderly fashion. However, when my partner pointed out structure as a strong suit in my writing, I was astonished. In this case, the re-vision process helped me find a strong skill set I have for writing. A negative feature the re-vision process pointed out in my essay was run on sentences. My partner told me the unnecessary ideas in my sentences, that went beyond the point. His advice was to either cut it down, or considering making it into two sentences. I found his advice to be helpful, by condensing my sentences, parts of my essay became much clearer, and straight forward. Recognizing my mistakes allows me not to make the same ones in the future. I realized why I write run on sentences which is because I don’t make my point quick enough, I sort of drift away, and go off topic. By sticking to one idea, I can provide one point. This negative feature in my writing points out a weakness that I can work on and hopefully improve in.
