DescriptionFirst Steps of Assignment Choose which of your three pieces youd like to edit. KEEP A COPY OF YOUR FIRST DRAFT. You are editing your own work. The changes you make to the piece must be substantial. They must go beyond the professors feedback and must demonstrate more than correcting spelling mistakes or missing commas. After youve edited and improved the whole piece, take your intro, one body paragraph, and conclusion and, using your original, show what youve edited and why. For example: Original: Sedaris used his trip to Greece writes about the time he met Jason and they got scared of their feelings. This changed him.Edited: Sedaris reflects on what changed the way he viewed himself, as he writes of a trip to summer camp in Greece. There, he met a boy named Jason. They grew close, perhaps too close, and where Jason ran, a young Sedaris found some truth.The sentence needed some cleaning up and rearranging to make it flow better. This was the main point to my thesis, so I wanted to make sure this read as clearly as possible. After that, write a short paragraph (informal) reflecting on your process as a writer this semester. Consider these questions:What element(s) of your writing do you think improved most over the semester? Why?What element(s) of your writing do you think still need improvement? Why?What have you learned about yourself as a writer?Compare and contrast your performance for the different projects. For the project that you did best on, why do you think this was so? For the project that was your weakest, why do you think this was so? Your Edited Final: Your essay should contain these components:Your full, edited essay.Examples of your original paragraphs vs. edited versions with details on what you edited and changed and why.Your short reflection paragraph.*You do not need to include a full copy of your first draft.
