Revisions

Revision means to see again, revision are the idea to look carefully at all aspects of the paper. This week we have focused our time on revisions. Each class, two students were able to read aloud their papers, allowing them to see any errors they have made, and for constructive criticism. When reading aloud you hear how your paper sounds, and could catch many silly errors. Classmates then look at the writing program grading continuum, and are assigned a current topic such as: convincingly, thesis, organization, development, syntax, research, mechanic, and format. The readers get much more feedback then how we use to do revisions. Usual we would only have a short feedback from only about two or three students. This way everyone gets to really think about each other’s papers and give helpful feedback. Although this method takes so long, I really enjoy this beneficial way to revise and rethink papers.
