Lower Concerns
Overall, I wrote a good essay. My concerns are grammar, inclusion of the date the speaker spoke and the style of my essay. Concerning grammar, I intend to look up and review the basic rules for grammar. I also intend to enlist some people to review my essay before I turn it in. I also want to take my essay to the writing lab and have them take a look at it before I turn it in completely. I have revised the first paragraph and added the date that Kerry Healey spoke at the Republican National Convention. My rubric also suggested my essay had engaging style but lacked variety. In order to fix this problem I intend to review my essay and revise some of the sentences to add variety to my writing. I will also ask people working at the writing lab for some suggestions on variety in my writing. I can also use the Bedford hand book to look up some variety to add to my style. I can use these exercises to not only help revise this essay but they will help me when I am writing future papers for this class as well as other classes.

I think that is a very good idea. Grammar is a very important part of the essay. Words have so many different meanings in this day and age and it is important to use the correct choice of words. The bedford hand book is a great choice i have reviewed it and it has very many great writing tips. Along with the writing lab is very helpful and everyone there is happy to help.
ReplyDeleteGreat plan to improve your writing! A way to improve your citation is to write out all of your sources on notecards and have them by you when you are writing so you always have the correct information at hand.
