ENG 100 Wk 5 Discussion – Essay Revisions

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

 

Due Thursday

Being human means making mistakes, and while they aren’t fun, mistakes can become building blocks for success. When we pay attention to them, we can make improvements.

 

Last week, you put together all the components of your essay. This week, you will revise your work. As you approach your revisions, consider the following:

 

Does your thesis set up your essay for strong topic sentences and body paragraphs? Are the reasons you state in your thesis distinct, but related, and are they supported by research? Have you applied the feedback from your instructor to make your essay stronger?

 

As you revise, remember to also edit your work for grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

 

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • As you begin your revisions, what do you see as the biggest obstacles?
  • How can you overcome these obstacles?
  • Why is it sometimes difficult for us to see the errors in our own work?
  • What are some effective ways to both seek and apply constructive criticism of our writing?

 

Due Monday

Reply to at least 2 of your classmates. Be constructive and professional in your responses.
