12. PROCESS ESSAY-REALITY TV
(I know, I'm a bit late to enter this post about process essay.) When I had the comments from Sonja about my first draft, I was a bit shocked. While I was handing that in, I was thinking that it it was a nice essay that I wouldn't spend much time and retouch it after I'll have Sonja's advice. It was a real disappointment for me. Because, she mostly told me that my statements were subjective and I had no sufficent proofs or examples for most of them. Also, I somehow forgot to put a quote from Peter's article. When I read my essay with that suggestion and by a "teacher's"perspective, I noticed that she was right and I thanked God, that I had a chance to re-write it. I think it's better now, with more examples,quotations and references to the text that we read. Now it's Sonja's turn!

hahaa, you fell into the classic Freshman trap of thinking the first draft is the best draft. You only improve your writing through rewriting and rewriting and rewriting. In other words, a first draft may already be a fifth draft...
ReplyDeleteIt's really good to develop as critical an eye as possible for your own work.
