Journal #16
When I began to revise my paper, I started with reading through the comments my group left on my paper and fixed anything that was easy and simple. Then I made a game plan for the more complex comments, like adding quotes or fixing the format of some paragraphs. I usually wait until I am done writing my essay to add the thesis because your original thesis is bound to change from when you start writing compared to the end. You find new points, opinions, and quotes as you write that might not fit perfectly with your first thesis so then I started working on what and where I wanted my thesis. I also leave all the formatting for the end, the works cited page, page numbers, in text citations, and name/date/class so I added all those as if they were the cherry on top. One of Jesses critiques from my last essay was that I needed to proof read so I plan on rereading my essay a couple more times or even have a friend read it through to make sure to catch any silly mistakes.
