Questions to Think about to Help You Write a Revision Letter:

1.      When you get your comments back from your instructor, how soon do you begin to make changes?  Why?
                        After receiving comments back from the instructor I look over them initially. With my schedule this year I have writing tutoring on Wednesdays so that is when I revise my assignments and go over what is discussed in class.  

2.     Which essay represents your essay most significantly revised?  Provide specific examples from your essay to support your answer.
                        My first essay, Pie and Sibonia was the most revised essay. Not only because we handed in four drafts, but because we had the most time to reflect and think of things to add to make our essay the best.

3.     When you begin to make changes to your essay, where do you focus most of your attention: grammar or content?
                        I focus mainly is on the content of my essay. When I read papers I notice if there are grammar errors, but care mostly about the content. 

4.     Has your understanding of revising for content versus editing for grammar changed or remained the same?
                        After this course I have a better understanding on how to revise my essays on content and grammar. The tips given for SEER, RENNS, and circling commas have all been new advices that have made me a better writer.

5.     How willing are you to create an entirely new approach to writing your essay when you get feedback?
                        I would be opposed to trying a completely new approach for writing an essay. I am open to taking advice and using it, but changing everything I have learned and not applying it is absurd.

6.     When you revise, what frustrates you the most (only answer this question if it applies)?
                        Doesn’t apply

7.     When you revise, what helps make your revision process easier?


                        The revision process is made easier when there is another set of eyes reading it out loud to me.
