Reflection on Revision




For this essay, I took a couple different approaches.  I tried to construct my paper in an entirely different way than I have in past.  For example, my usual routine would be writing a huge outline, then going over the paper as a whole and adding details and ideas where appropriate.  For this paper, I did the opposite, I constructed each paragraph as an individual, hoping to capture the idea of the paper in each.  

My usual revision process is not as extensive as what I did for this paper.  I feel the list Laura gave us on the assignment sheet was very helpful and I utilized that in my revision process.  Along with the checklist, I submitted my paper to online revision services which gave me feedback I used to edit my essay.  

It is very important to revise.  I will admit, I have not been as extensive in the past, but doing so really gives you a better paper.  I also did the revision process for this paper over the course of several days, which let me see minor spelling or punctuation I may have missed previously.  I specifically made sure to follow exact MLA guidelines for Essay 3. I made sure there was only one space after every period, etc.  Overall, I feel the construction of this paper is at par.
