After receiving helpful comments from my peers about my essay, I realized that my main goal with this paper will be to focus on my flow and word choice. I got a lot of positive feedback from my peers about this essay, and I am encouraging myself to keep writing and developing stronger ideas. Often when I write essays, I seem to skim past the details that are often very important. Making sure my essay has flow, and is easy to read is very important for the reader. I never have taken so much time out to reflect on writing an essay and editing it, but I believe this will be a helpful tool that I will use now and even in the future.

The steps I am going to take to fix the flow of my essay, is to first start off by re-reading my essay. By doing this, I will be able to point out some obvious grammar mistakes as well as see where the best fit is for all my sentences. I think that the hardest part of mastering flow will be having to re-write some sentences and place them in the right places. My peer’s noticed that in some of my paragraphs, I had sentences that were redundant. This will be difficult as you can only re-word an idea so much but I am thinking that with my tools that I have I can achieve this goal! I believe that it is important that the reader is influenced by a piece of writing, and I believe that if i focus on rewording some sentences and structuring it properly, I would have a great piece of writing.

The steps I am going to take to meet this goal, are not hard to obtain. I am going to use my resources, such as my professors comments as well as the books I have. If I realize I am having further issues that can not be found in the text or asking my teacher, I will go to SASC on campus and ask for a writing tutor. I have never gone to SASC but I believe that any type of tutoring would help in making my essay as strong and well-developed as it can be!

  1. I am thrilled to read that you’ve spent more time on this paper than any other. The experience alone of spending so much time with one piece should teach you so much about the academic essay. Keep up the good work. 3/3
