Blog Post 2 : BC Response
After going through writing boot camp during the first couples of weeks of class, the most significant thing that I learned was about revision. I learned that writing is primarily all about revision! I also found out that it’s not just about revising grammar and punctuation but the content as a whole. I thought that writing the American Literature essay day by day and revising it little by little really demonstrated how important it is to revise your essays a lot. Having opportunities to revise each part of our essay was definitely helpful for me. Due to the fact that writing is such a hard subject for me and I need a lot of time to have a paper come together and being able to revise it multiple times helps. From editing my homework little by little the content of my paper completely switched from one view to another. So I would say that this process of multiple revisions was helpful. And now I know that it’s ok to have mistakes in your papers because confronting them is the first step towards revision.

Hey Cammi,
ReplyDeleteWell I thought Boot Camp was interesting. I thought this class was going to be very hard, but after finishing it I'm actually kind of happy we did it because class seems much relaxing. Revising is definitely a very important part of writting. Don't worry, when revising everyone's papers we will try our best to point out ways to improve our writting.
I agree about revising being very important. It also helped me to realize how important revising is and how much it helps a paper overall. I am not a strong writer and for my papers to be complete it takes me lots of time too. I am looking forward to having a good group to revise eachothers papers!
