Journal #17

For my revision of my Morals vs Lobsters essay I reread my last journal to jog my memory on what I need to focus on. I first started by going through my peer review comments my group left on my essay and fixed all of the easy and simple errors like grammar or punctuation. Once I fixed all of those I went back and look further into the more complex comments like telling me to elaborate on certain points, add quotes to back up my claim, and fixing my formatting for some of the paragraphs. Peer review is incredibly helpful for my writing because it takes an outside perspective to help me understand exactly what I need to make my essay stronger. In the beginning of this writing process I created a simple outline to how I wanted my essay to go. As I wrote, those plans changed but I made another outline of what my essay now presents just to make sure my order of paragraphs and the topics of each paragraph worked together and overall just made sense. Then I read through my entire essay out loud to make sure it sounded smooth and flowed nicely. I focused on my thesis for a while because I wait till the end to add it to make sure my thesis includes all points and opinions I express in my essay. I then made sure all of the MLA formatting was correct like the page numbers, in text citations, quoting, and my works cited page.
