Hey again everybody
I hope that you are all having a great start to UTOP. So far I’ve had a great
time in all my classes. I am not drowning in class work. My classes are about
the same as high school. We had block schedule so that we would be prepared for
college and it actually was pretty effective. My first rough draft in my English
class was pretty smooth. I completed it the first day I received it so I wouldn’t
be cramming in four pages at 4am the day of. The peer group was pretty good to.
We each read our story and found out different little tweaks we could all make
from grammar, emotion, or connection from paragraph. . Now that we have finished
our first peer group I have to go back and check my grammar because I had a
few..or a lot of run on sentences. Revision is the look and search while editing
is the actual act of fixing the mistakes you found. College reading assignments
are a lot less strenuous then High school because its not lets remember the plot
of a story but knowledge that will help your writing progress. For fall semester I’m
just going to do my reading after the class is over then if not finished I will
continue soon as I get back to the dorms. I have no questions for college I just
want to let things fall as they may and when something comes up learn how to fix
it then for future refrence. (learn from my mistakes)
I like your attitude, Aaron! You'll tackle obstacles when they arise. (: You are definitely already on the right track about revision and editing! Revision, when you break down the word, is re-vision, or re-seeing. You re-see your work and try as best you can to see it as a reader to try to figure out how to best appeal to your readers. That means looking at "big picture" stuff like content, organization, word choice, and style, the "meat" of your paper. When you edit, you're looking at the "skin," the grammar and punctuation, the "packaging." It's all important.
