The rough draft process was extremely helpful. The most helpful part about it to me was the peer editing process. Through the peer editing process I was able to realize the faults in my essay and see the essays of my of peers, which laid out a format of what my essay should model. Not to forget that without the rough draft process I would have wrote an essay on the wrong essay topic.

After I had seen the essays’ of my peers the revision process became a lot easier to me because I had more of an Idea of what I should prove in my essay as well as what techniques i should use to prove it. As a result of choosing the wrong essay topic, my revision process was a rewrite of my essay. Choosing the thesis, quotes and examples to my rewritten essay was simple for me, where I struggled was incorporating the right amount of anaylsis needed to prove my points. I also had a difficult time with the conclusion process. In my last rewrite I did not write a conclusion but I plan on writing the conclusion once the body of my essay is completely edited, in order to write a correct and relevant conclusion.

Have starting my revision process of my rewritten essay and meeting with Professor Kaufman, I’m excited to work on the parts of my essay that need improvement. After the tips that my peers and Professor Kaufman have given me I know what I need to fix and add in order to prove my thesis and write a fully developed essay.
