Literacy Narrative: Revision and Reflection

You did it! You submitted a revised draft of a major writing project for this course. Feel good about it.

Hopefully, you changed quite a bit to align with what you wanted to do better in the piece compared to what you did in the first draft.  I hope you also consulted the Revision Plan Guidelines (in the February 22nd lesson plan also in Learning Module 4) and feedback you got on the first draft.

Now that it is done, though, let’s take a moment to think about what you did and where you are going next.

 

Task

Respond to one of the following on the text channel “mar-10-literacy-narrative-reflection”

  • Where did you focus your energy most? What were you trying to differently in the most drastic way of all the changes you made? Why? How did you do that? How did you feel about it?
  • What do you love most about this revision? What are you most proud of?
  • What helped you the most when revising? (e.g., the Liao reading or criteria, models of memoir essays, feedback from your Writing Group, a realization you had, how you structured a Writing Session). Be specific! (e.g., mention a specific comment from a person in your Writing Group)
  • Talk about 2-3 goals that you would like to work on for your writing. Interpret this however you’d like. It can be related to anything about writing–style level concerns, organization, argument, using examples, your writing process, your writing practice, etc. Be specific!!!!!!!!! (say more than just picking 2-3 of the things I just listed and copy/pasting them)
  • Respond to others! Read previous posts before you write your own post. If you notice someone has a similar post, comment directly to them and expand on their points if you had similar goals. Prioritize talking about your goals that way rather than formally listing all of your goals.
