Journal #4

In high school working on our essay drafts in class was thorough. In the past I write my first draft at home and then revise it in class with the time we are given. Normally I have my parents or sister read it out loud to me after my first draft is complete. Then in class we did do peer review, and we just read one another’s and made changes as needed. I find it beneficial because it is another pair of eyes reading it and able to recognize mistakes I didn’t. Also, I tend to write how I talk, which is not very helpful when writing an essay, so I need other people to read it over. It takes me a while to get everything I want on the paper because I always restate things over and over. I normally completely rewrite it over and over when I figure out how I want it displayed and formed. I do about 4-5 drafts because I always rewrite it and reform it to how I really want it. It all comes together in the end, but I do think the revision process then was beneficial with the peer review and constantly drafting and working on each paragraph. Which we normally broke down each paragraph trying to rephrase words and find better adjectives to make it more appealing. The overall process was very helpful and beneficial to my essays and after all the drafts the revision was always easy with the help.
