Chapter 9 "Revising Your Work"

By -

The first section of chapter 9, “Revising Your Work” highlighted the benefits of peer revision.  Peer revision allows us to acknowledge the missing components within our essays and it might even encourage new ideas to arise.  Although some may say peer revision has been helpful, I personally am not too fond of it because I believe I have never received any beneficial feedback.  I do believe that this chapter will change how we revise one’s essay due to the numerous examples of questions we could ask someone, as well as, ourselves while reading a peer’s essay.  Thus, these questions could bring up some points that the writer never thought of before and can possibly help the writer enhance their own essay. Overall, I have mixed reviews on peer revision but after reading this chapter I became more confident in the process.

    I agree with your hesitancy about the peer review process and that this article helped me to understand.

    I can relate to how you have never had a good experience with peer review. usually kids do not take them very seriously or do not care or do not want to hurt someone's feelings.

After reading this chapter I realized that choosing a genre is an important and rather strenuous task, as one needs to execute the process to their own liking.   In my own personal experiences, I was never given the opportunity to explore the various genres offered, as I was always told to write a certain way in order to receive passable scores on either the AP and AICE examinations.   Therefore, this article on genres and the different ways to relay your central message to the audience was very intriguing to me.   Additionally, this chapter further enhanced my knowledge on the three rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos.   My tenth grade AICE English Language class briefly explained these devices, so I was always very eager to learn more about using these appeals within my own ideas and the variations within each.   Thus, these appeals will help correlate the various forms of media layouts used to capture the readers’ or the audiences’ attentions which, in my opinion, is an

Project 2 Reflection

1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high school. This paper was more formal than other research papers I have written.

Based on the feedback I received from the peer review session, there are minimal aspects to my research paper that need to be changed. The most important change that needs to be completed before submitting my final draft is I need to make sure to fully develop my opinions within my conclusion. I also believe that there are a few sentences that could be enhanced within my literature review. I believe that these changes will make my essay more coherent to readers.
