Reviewing Favorite Meal Essay Process
The area I spent the most amount of time revising in this writing process was the thesis statement. I wanted to make sure that it was clear and concise in order for the reader to be pointed in the right direction of where I wanted the essay to go. My goal for this thesis statement was to indicate what my favorite meal is and why it is my favorite. One thing I would have changed was doing more of the peer review process. I feel as if for me it is beneficial to have others read your work. Another day in class would have been great after the additional peer review day, to see where everyone in our group stood with their paper. I feel as if the drafting/revising process was mostly the same as it was for me in high school. It took about a week to two weeks to complete the whole process and we also had a day where peer review occurred. I love going over other people’s papers as it gives me ideas for further endeavors. It gives me a sense as to where I stand in my writing. It highlights points I feel I can work on to make my writing even better. I worked very hard to make this essay the best it possibly could. I begin the day it was assigned and took my time in gathering ideas that could make my writing pop and stand out. Every single day an idea would come to me as to different descriptions I could give in my paper to make the reader fascinated when reading it. In my opinion, I met the expectations that Professor Miller gave us when he assigned us this project.
