ENG 200 Wk 4 Discussion – Reflecting and Refining

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 or your faculty member.

Due Thursday

You may have heard the phrase that writing is rewriting. It is important to recognize opportunities to fine-tune ideas, to further consider the research, and to become more aware of how to communicate with and persuade readers.

This week you will examine your rough draft and complete an activity to assess your work to revise it to make it stronger and more meaningful. You’ll also read Ch. 18 of Research Matters, which covers revision and gaining perspective.

Write a response to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• What did you learn or re-learn about revision this week from the text or any learning activities? What areas of your writing do you feel are strengths? Which areas could use some improvement?
• How will you integrate these ideas into the next steps you will take to complete or refine your paper?

Due Monday

Post 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member. Be constructive and professional.
