Revising my essay is a very important part of any writing process. This is the time you can make your paper the best it can be. The feedback I got from my peer reviewers was mostly positive, but like anything, I had much to improve on. I am also taking several steps to revise my essay to make it the best it can be.
One of the main things I needed to improve on is my grammar errors. I had many spelling mistakes that needed to be fixed. One main thing I wrote a lot is verity instead of variety. I have now learned the difference in those two words, and I will not make that mistake again. Another thing I needed to work on is the clarity of several of my sentences. I need to make sure that the reader can understand everything I am saying. I also need to make sure my paragraphs flow into each other and I have connections to make this happen easier. After making these several different changes, my essay will be close to perfect.
In order to revise my paper, I first fixed all of the grammical errors. I simply saw where one of my peer reviewers pointed out a mistake, and then I fixed it on my draft of the essay. All I did was click on the misspelled word and retyped it. I then will find a new picture using Google or an Owensboro website to add to my blog. The picture will be about Owensboro in general maybe on the river or something like that. I will do this because my peer reviews suggested that I add another picture. I might add this to the end or middle. I will just click on the “add a picture” link and add it. I will then read through the whole essay checking for clarity, making sure that all the points are clear. Lastly, I will read through the essay and look for connections that I could add to make the essay flow better.
I am glad that we peer review, because my reviewers always find things that I missed when reviewing my own paper. I know that revising is one of the critical parts of the writing process. I am glad that I am given time to review and revise my essay to make it my best work possible. Revision is not something I enjoy, but I know it is necessary.
