Revision Strategy:
My goal for revisions is to create more of a well rounded piece. I want to focus on making all of my claims relate to not only each other but my thesis as well. I also hope to add another quote by either Strawson or Beck to support my claims. Lastly, I want to work on my naysayer paragraph as I do not feel that it fully relates and flows with the rest of the piece yet.
Steps I Plan To Take:
- Review my peer review edits that I received and decide which suggestions I want to take into account.
- Work on each of my claim sentences by altering them to relate to/ support my thesis.
- Insert a photograph of my brother to add to the multimodal aspect but also make the paragraph about him more personalized.
- Re read my naysayer paragraph and try to tie the idea back into my overall argument. This is where I could incorporate another quote either to defend my beliefs or challenge it.
- Have another friend or peer review it once these changes have been made.
- Work with the suggestions they make.
I feel that my biggest challenge for this process will be the naysayer paragraph. Due to the fact that I took a narrow approach with the essay, I feel that I cannot just use any statement that I disagree with, to refute. This is because when it comes time to defend my beliefs, I end up discussing other pros and cons of narratives that do not relate to the rest of the paper. I think that including a naysayer paragraph is a great tool in strengthening a paper which is why I am eager to fix it rather than just delete it entirely.
If I struggle with accomplishing any of these goals I have, I know that I can ask for help. Whether I ask a friend, SASC or my english professor, I am confident that I will be able to get feedback.
I hope that your detailed revision strategy served you well! This is great!
