My writing shows substantial change (global revision) by my ability to reform the work into paragraphs, rather than the one blob of writing that i had beforehand. I feel like i did a good job of jumping into a topic and explaining, all while giving sufficient details. I added on more descriptive sentences to further back up my work before. For the local revision, I used my punctuation and quotations correctly throughout my writing. From a non-biased reader standpoint I feel like my work was extremely readable. Reading the first few lines of it would make me want to read on and on. On the next project I see myself trying to build better structure. I want it to be able to string along more efficiently. There should be less out of place phrases and more phrases that are cohesive to get my point across. On the next project I plan to seek more help. If i am struggling to connect thoughts and ideas I can use the resources that I have available to me and work out those kinks.

I feel as if I need to work more on this part of the writing process. I show some examples of using my sayings and various phrases to help the reader see through my eyes. If i used more details i could further put the reader in my perspective and that will only benefit my writing and make it an even better story. In my annotations I portray the ability to understand what the author is speaking of on a personal level. I take the authors ideas and form them into easier to understand concepts. I ask questions on subjects that I want more info on. I could take some of these skills that the authors use and integrate it into my own writing to tie my whole story together.

I show the ability to constructively criticize my peers work and offer differences that i would make to benefit the writing. In my example i use my comments on my classmate, Chris’ work. I offer suggestions that i feel would do him good. I ask for more details in some areas that were a bit vague. I show support of his ideas and use some of them and relate to my own happenings. I offer feedback of pieces that i thought were good and fit really well into his narrative. In my own writing I took in all of my peers comments and revised my paper as i felt needed.
Control Individualized Error Patterns

In my earliest draft, I found myself unable to separate my story into paragraphs. So i just kept writing and writing without any concern. I realized that paragraphing is necessary to separate different thoughts and moments in my narrative. Shortly after i met with our writing advisor, we found places in my narrative that would benefit from spacing. I had an issue with coming up with a title so i just left it blank. Later on, I took advice from one of Mr. Cripps’ comments and came up with a suitable title. I fixed the errors that came up in my earlier drafts and did not bring the same errors into my final draft. My advisor and i proofread my drafts and made changes as we felt needed.
As a whole, I believe i am making sufficient progress in writing as a recursive process, and Critique own and others work. In the other areas I have a lot to work on but i feel like i’m slowly, but surely getting there. In controlling individualized errors and active reading, i show that i am making an attempt to portray my ability, though it could be stronger.
