For this blog post we were asked to reflect on what we did in class today during the revision process of writing our proposal essay. The first thing that we did was write down our thesis, then we cut out each paragraph and put them into piles of which ones fit our thesis and which ones did not. These are the questions that I had to answer:
1. How did you feel about disassembling your essay?
I was worried at first but once I started the process I knew that it would help me create a better essay.
2. Were you a skeptic or believer that this exercise would be beneficial?
I was very skeptical at first because I had never heard of doing this kind of revision before.
3. What were the results of evaluating each paragraph's relevance to your thesis?
I found that I did have a lot of paragraph that related to my thesis, even though I think that I need to re-word my thesis and make it shorter and more clear.
4. What did you learn?
I learned a lot from this exercise and ti is definitely something that I will consider doing when I have to write other papers. I also learned that I need to re-word my thesis to make it more clear and direct.
