My peer view experience went well, as I enjoyed hearing critiques from multiple people instead on one. I liked to hear their different opinions and hearing their corrections that were the same. My goal is to make my main argument clear and put my own views into my writing. My plan to fix my rough draft into my final draft is to re-read my own essay again and make corrections, then look at the corrections my peers made. From here I will fix what I can and move sentences around and change sentences. A big fix that I have to make it my body paragraphs and rewriting them to make an essay with a view, not statements. To do this, I most likely will go back and read all my old blog posts and go to the reading texts we have read and look at past markups I have made to refresh my memory and ideas, in hopes it will spark a route for me to take. I will take a new piece of paper and write down all the arguments I want to make and then connect points together so I know the essay will make sense when I write it into words. On this piece of paper, I will also write down strong quotes to backup my points. Since I have to change a big part of my essay, when done writing, I will have to go back and make sure I have a clear thesis, my opening and closing paragraphs connect, and make sure my essay flows. My biggest challenge is actually in fact doing so. I have always struggled with just summarizing the text I have read. With this essay in particular, I can’t seem to find out what exactly to say and how to get a point across. When a problem comes up that proves too difficult for me to solve on my own, I will most likely ask my friends for guidance and help. But, if I still am lost and do not know what to do, I will most likely go to the Student Academic Success Center (SASC) for writing help. It would be a smart decision for me to set up a tutoring session, since I have never been the best at writing and I am still a little lost on this whole essay and how to actually set up my main idea.
