First Draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PGIXzE8z5CM63vL7fxdra8fuMWFF8FDLlcLvn1PvJyg/edit My Revision Plan for My First Draft: When reading the global comments from my peers I really look into what they are saying. I appreciate their feedback and what I can do to improve my paper. That’s the main purpose of peer review, it is having someone else’s eyes and expertise to make your paper better than it originally was. A few of the main comments I got were to elaborate more in my introduction paragraph before…

In many of my other classes I’ve taken and are taking at UNE I have applied my peer review work. My best example I can think of is in my sociology class. Currently, we are getting ready for the end of the semester so our final work has been announced. Within the work we have to do is a final paper. This final paper is based on our life in relation to sociology. As I start to write this paper,…

Over the course of ENG 110, we have learned how to draft an essay. Each essay that we have done allows us to be more comfortable with this drafting process. This drafting process has also helped me in writing papers for some of my other classes such as psychology and biology lab. One specific example that really helped me was drafting my thesis for one of my lab papers. In lab, we’ve had to write a few papers over the…

From the start of the semester to now, I have come a long way in how I annotate the articles that I’ve been reading for this class. Earlier in the semester, I read and annotated “The Moral Bucket list” by David Brooks. Throughout this article, I made lots of annotations but they were mostly small and not as detailed. Many of the comments that I made were connections. These connections would be considered drawing relationships on the categories for active…

Active reading can be applied to more than just reading for english class. Another class that I applied the active reading strategies that I learned in english was sociology. In sociology, we had a few long articles that we had to read for a discussion next class. One article that we read was “The Trials of Alice Goffman.”Sometimes long articles like this one look daunting to me, but with the help of some active reading strategies I can get through…

The past few days I’ve been working hard on my essay focusing on the global changes. Global changes are changes that focus on Ideas, Evidence, and Organization within an essay. For my essay, I needed a lot more work on organization than anything else. So a big thing that I focused on was sentence fluency and working on my run on sentences. I had run ons in a few spots of my paper that were pointed out by my peers….

Un-Edited First Draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YjCRXr4OUWJKvBObiTmOprKdzllOGJff4X5RHZ7pPmk/edit My Revision Plan: Peer review is always helpful when editing a draft. Especially a first draft, because you get new ideas with a freshly built paper. Therefore, you can add new ideas to expand to without so much stress because the paper is new. I know my paper needed lots of work anyways and it wasn’t close to being done. Specific comments that I received and will work on are organization errors such as grammatical comments….

Today we worked on our first drafts of our Technology essays. In these early steps in the writing process, we added global comments to our peers papers. To me, I felt that I left better global comments on Robyn’s paper because I had more connections, ideas, and evidence to support her paper. Robyn’s paper was really good and had a great flow. Within her paper, I could make all of the global comments that are ideas, evidence, and organization. Many…

Writing a paper for a new class can be difficult. You may not know what to expect or how to mesh these new ideas with new authors together. For me, I thought I had a pretty good idea for my paper, which was a social life leads you to a happy life. Although, one writing moves that I can improve on in my paper is that I mention a topic but then I don’t go into much depth. When mentioning…
