After comparing your rough draft to the evaluated final draft of essay one, you should be able to gauge the state of your writing skills at the start of the semester. Provide a well-structured paragraph in response to each of the following (two separate paragraphs). | |
How did the comparison help you to identify your writing strengths?
The comparison help me identify my writing strengths simply because my peer editor would point them out; after her editing my paper so many times I would see the stuff that she did not point out or would say was good. She really helped meunderstand my own writing because she had a different point of view on my writing. I also liked how she picked almost every problem out so I could have the best possible paper. also, the comparison helped me to understand my strenghts because after i read the final copy it would read so much better; my roughdraft would stop my reading and make me stumble on certain parts. It made me feel more accomplished when parts that were really bad now became easy to read and progressed over time soI did not have to focus on them so much anymore. |

How did the comparison help you to understand your writing weaknesses?
The comparison helped me understand my weaknesses because after I read over both drafts I still saw mistakes after I suposedly “fixed them”. Some parts of my writing just seemed like they were onfixable no matter how much time I spent on them. My weaknesses were very clear to see because they were in alot of my papers and it was usually the same thing in the same area. My peer editor reviewer and others constanly kept pointing them out and telling me that I need to work on them. |
