• Revision Strategy. I would like you to take some minutes and reflect on your peer review experience. Return to your peer’s notes. Flip through your own. Now is the time to develop a strategy. Your strategy is the plan of action you will take to achieve your overall aim (Dictionary.com). Your strategy should include:

1. Revisit the grading rubric as well as my notes on your last paper. What new skills are you working to incorporate into your new paper?
2. What are your revision goals, articulated in your own words?
3. List the steps you plan to take to achieve these goals (in order of priority)
4. What you see as your biggest challenge?
5. And what will you do if a challenge comes up that proves too difficult for you to solve on your own? In other words, what resources do you plan to use?

You may share your strategy using video, audio, or written communication.

Please note that written strategies should be between 200-300 words long. Audio and video strategies should last at least 3 minutes.

1.) In my last paper I was proud of it, I still could have done better by improving small things. I noticed there was a lot of silly mistakes having to do with format and that is easy for me to fix. I also want to work on developing my thoughts more and not just using the other pieces of writing as proving my points for me.

2.) As I revise, I am planning on making a small map that states my thesis, and each claim sentence for my paragraphs. Right now I need some structure and to get that I really need to map out my thoughts and outline what else I need to add to make my writing make sense.

3.) First I will write out all of my points, after that I plan to email professor Emerson and get her feedback to see if it all makes sense. I then plan to incorporate more depth to my text and make it truly mine.

4.)My biggest challenge is going to be putting my thoughts into words, its easy to think about in my head but I cannot seem to get the right words out. I want to develop my thoughts more so that I can become more advanced. I just need to figure out how to do that successfully.

5.) As a resource my first feeling would be to go to my friends for help and see what they can do. Im sure they will be able to help calm me down but not so much with my writing. Then I would result to making an appointment at SASC while also emailing my professor to let her know that I am struggling and maybe grasping a second pair of eyes would be helpful. I always get my work done and get through what seems impossible.
