3 higher order concerns
I feel as if i rushed my essay for my analyzing a political speech so through the essay i have very many grammatical errors. I don't think i made to many mistakes with the spelling i am ususally very good about that. But i definitely could have used better words choice. I think i needed to go a little more in depth in reasons as to why John McCain did a great job in supporting Romney. I used much of my essay to analyze the beginning of his speech, and my essay was to long to analyze the end. I hope to revise it and paraphrase much of the essay so i can review more of the end and make sure i can get his strong points from the conclusion of the speech. I will take it to the writing lab and make sure to have another set of eyes to see my essay so they can see the mistakes that i just skimmed by. I also have been looking through the bedford handbook and found very many good tips to revise my essay with.

I think you have a great plan for revising your essay. For your concerns about your grammatical errors you could have someone with fresh eyes take a look at your essay for you. You could also take it to the writing lab, I am sure that would be pretty helpful. For your word choices, you could again have someone else take a look at your essay and maybe even look up some synonyms if you are having issues with repetition. I am sure once you have some others review your essay it will be awesome! I only suggest this because I make my roommates look at every essay I submit just in case I miss something. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI had the same low concern with my second essay. My starting point and introduction was too long, and I spend too many words on them. As a result, so I could not write a strong conclusion because I passed the word limit by the time I got to conclusion. The solution for problem is to start your essay with body paragraphs. In this case, you use the main words for drawing the body paragraphs and make a strong argument. I definitely will use this method for my upcoming essays because for my third essay I was forced to change my entire introduction paragraph because it was too long and did not left enough room for my body paragraphs. :-S
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your essay revision:)
I think you have a good plan for revising your essay. I too have grammatical portions I need to address. And what part of the bedford handbook do I look through to get help with rewriting my essay?
