Lower Order Concers
The three lower order concerns I think I need to address most in my second essay are word choice, spelling and sentence structure. In order to help prevent these mistakes from making into the final copy of my essay I plan on making a list of things I miss commonly and go back through my essays and check them against the list to make sure I have not made the same or similar mistakes. I will also probably be questioning almost every single punctuation mark I put into the essay, with the exception of exclamation point, question marks and periods obviously. I am also going to start reading my essays backwards to see if I can catch anything that seems out of place or just completely wrong. And hopefully after doing all of these things the final copy of the essay will not have any, or as many, mistakes as previous copies or essays.

I think you would really benefit from other people reading your essay and giving you some simple suggestions. For spelling, if spell check does not work effectively just have someone check out your essay solely for spelling errors, possibly in the writing lab. I think they could also help you with your sentence structure. For your word choice, if you are being repetitious, you could look up a synonym for the words you are repeating or again have someone else take a look. I say enlist help because it always helps me. Good luck!
