In my chosen significant writing project, which is essay 2, I made two global revisions that included editing my introduction paragraphs and further explaining my naysayer point of view. For the introductory paragraphs, I had to remove information and focus on consolidating what I wanted to say. I ended up combining sentences and ideas and filtering out information that was not relevant to the topics in my essay. I found this the most difficult part of revising my essay because I was unsure of what information would be the most pertinent and helpful to my essay. However, now I do feel I am able to edit my essays in this way and I find it extremely helpful in my other classes where I have to write reports and summaries that only need the most important information. For my second global revision, I had to figure out a new way of introducing and explaining my naysayer viewpoint. In order to do this, I looked at the way Gee had introduced him in his essay to get an idea of how to incorporate the ideas. I ended up rewording not only how I introduced the ideas but how I explained their relevance. The local revisions I made included adding some commas where they were needed, fixing word choice in some sentences, and some errors in MLA format. I think that my revisions show that I have developed better methods of revising and have developed more skills related to filtering and rewriting my essays.
