Reflection on Project 2


  1. I completely rewrote my introduction and conclusion because that was part of our project. I also revised specific parts of my paper where people commented, for example, I added explanations at the end of the quotes I used in my paper. I also adde pictures in my project when I was done with revising it all. 
  2. After reading the comments my peers left on my two theses I wrote, I considered their suggestions when rewriting it. I also used the books for class to help outline my thesis and give me ideas on how to change it. 
  3. I reconsidered my peers' comments and the instructor's comments when I changed my thesis. I value their opinions and suggestions, and I believe they helped me write a better and less specific thesis. 
  4. I think that by using other people's suggestions when changing my paper, I gained more credibility as an author because I considered them as part of my audience and I wanted to appeal to them.  
  5. I took their opinions into consideration when revising my paper, which may possibly appeal to the audience's feelings/emotions in a positive way. By doing so, I have better addressed my audience.
  6. I believe that the chapters in the Clarity section really helped me revise my sentence structure and style because I understood how to better my sentences. Reading those chapters allowed me to look for specific mistakes and correct them, which definitely improved my paper. 
  7. I believe that these changes will assist my audience in understanding my purpose because it clearer and supported better throughout my paper. I was able to expand on the quotes I used in my writing which allows the reader to understand what is going on inside my paper and what the author of the article I used is talking about. 
  8. I had to reconsider some of the conventions of the genre in my writing because I changed up my paper. I had to see what I wanted to use, what needed to be taken out, and what needed to be added in order for the paper to flow together. This also helps the audience understand my points/ purpose in my paper. 
  9. The process of reflection helps me reconsider my identity as a writer because I am able to look back at my work, what I did right and what I improved upon while revising. I have a better understanding of the type of writer I was and the type of writer I can be if I just take more time reading and revising my work.
