Step Two:
I learned a lot this week. The question and answer section helped clear up some unanswered questions that I had about the projects we have done and things we have learned. I learned that we should spend as much time writing and revising our essay as we feel is necessary. Some people take more time than others to do the same work. I also learned how our final projects will be graded. I learned that our podcast projects can have a formal tone or an informal tone. It depends on the audience and how the speaker wants to convey their story. I learned that we can utilize the writing workshops on campus to help with our portfolios. It would help to get more opinions on my writing. Step Three: I have a lot of plans on how to revise my Wikipedia article and make it better. I want to focus on citation and make sure that I have cited every source that I used. The last thing I want to do is plagiarize, even accidently, so I plan on combing through my essay very meticulously to ensure that I have cited everything. I also want to work on paragraph structure. I am going to make sure that every paragraph only has one controlling idea, and change the paragraphs if need be. I also plan on adding in transitions to the beginning of each section to make things easier to read. I also want to add more general context at the beginning of each section. This will also aide in the transition between each section. I also plan on making sure that I don’t repeat words too much in order to make my writing as rich and interesting as possible. Step Four: Paragraph Structure: 1)Assign numbers to each paragraph, and write down one or two sentences summarizing each paragraph. Make sure that they are all united under one main idea and can’t be split up into separate paragraphs. Make changes. 2)Group the summaries into blocks. Make sure that this blocks are cohesive. If any paragraphs seem out of place, move them. Transitions: 3)Underline the transitions between paragraphs. Make sure they are cohesive. Identify the best transition word that should go in between each paragraph. 4) Add quick summaries to the beginning of each section to aide in transitions. Citations: 5) Highlight any sections that need citations. 6) Cite these sections.
