In their book They Say I Say, Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein, and Russel Durst outline strategies writers can use to avoid common mistakes often seen in academic writing. The book thoroughly outlines the different components that make up academic writing, such as initially summarizing what others have said before, responding with original ideas, proving a purpose to the writing, and connecting the writing in a logical and eloquent manner.

I disagree with Lauren Slater’s theory that throughout a person's life, one will only surround themselves with ideas and people similar to their own because, it is easy to see that people enjoy controversy and over the course of our lives, our beliefs and ideas can change.

Once a writer has completed the writing portion of an essay, it is often considered to be done. However, no one, even a professional writer, writes a perfect draft on the first attempt; in fact, it is often this revision stage of writing where a good writer separates himself from other, less experienced writers. A good writer understands the importance of revision and spends as much time as possible during this stage to craft the essay into the ideal state. Moreover, what exactly revision is? Revision refers to the changes that occur in an essay once

The revision strategy for myself that will be most effective for writing this essay would be to

Typically, when most people think about the writing process they think of terms such as a ‘thesis statement,’ developing an outline, body paragraphs, conclusion; it’s imperative to view writing this way. We have only been taught THIS way of writing almost directly after we learned how to spell words—you decide what to write about, usually specified in the thesis statement, then you write a series of paragraphs entailing how you came to this conclusion. Finally, you conclude your paper by restating exactly what it was you spent an entire essay writing about. And most people will go their entire lives believing that is the formula for an effective, well thought-out work of literature. But how often do we go back and read through our writing and completely resent how amateur and forced it sounds? This is usually a direct result of a lack of revision within a work. Defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “a change or a set of changes that corrects or improves something” and “a new version of something that has been corrected or changed,” Revision is not a common word we think of when writing—this raises a serious question: how should you revise? In response to this to this, research was conducted to find a general view as to the significance of revision within various individual’s writing processes. These results, along with research from several academic articles provide a clear description as to where revision could be

This happens more often than I would like. My future papers after this one have greatly improved over time. For instance, my second paragraph’s last sentence says, “Blackbird” was to represent a typical African American woman facing oppression in this era. The following paragraph starts of with, “Lyrics that furthered the idea that “Blackbird” was about the discrimination and hardships these women faced during this time. My last sentence and my first sentence of my paragraph do not transition beautifully. When revising this problem I kept the last sentence of the second paragraph and I changed the first sentence of the third paragraph. For example, “ Blackbird” was to represent a typical African American woman facing oppression in this era. Lyrics furthered the idea that the song was about the African American women facing oppression. This change was necessary for my essay to make my essay transition better from one idea to another. Fixing this creates unity in my

Every record put out by the world-class jazz bassist Christian McBride is well worth checking out. After digging Live at the Village Vanguard with his trio, the bassist returns to the big band format with Bringin’ It, an honorable follow-up to the 2011 Grammy Award winner The Good Feeling.

When talking about American history most begin with the coming of the Mayflower, when the Europeans arrive. Why is that? Maybe it’s because that’s the easiest way to explain our history or because we don’t seem to understand the importance of The Natives?

Do some of y'all be responsible for y'all stuff well i am not responsible because i loose all my stuff. Well in the movie smalls wasn’t because he took his stepfather ball without permission.

Here comes the fatal point. After paragraph 7, the topic word finally come out from paragraph 8, and after paragraph 8 it feels like author are just randomly talking, providing information.

In my analyze essay the first thing I will do for my revision is read over the entire essay to see if I need to add anything or if something need to be erased. Then I plan to have one of my family members or a friend read it over for me to see if I made any mistakes in my writing. I want to make sure that I don't have any grammar so when the other person reads it over they could spot something. Then I will do the reverse outline you give us to check if it flows correctly and to see if I have to rearrange my ideas. I already have done so, I found some of my ideas would be better if I rearrange them. Next, as I was reading over my essay, realize my introduction was not clear so I will have to write a new one. I plan to tell the readers why these

Lewis and Clark, Chief Cut Nose, and Allen Pinkham, are connected through events and actions.

In paragraph two I added this sentence ‘my mom use to dress me different than my brothers, we have cultural differences.’ I deleted the word ‘it’ and replace it with ‘them.’ I added the word ‘according to’ after that I put comma after ‘Pollitt,’ and I also deleted the word ‘she explains that,’ I also added the word ‘that males and females have the same equal rights. Author’s purpose in this essay is to give women the rights they deserve by encouraging change in society.’

The questions that I asked myself before revising my rough draft were, what major idea have I left out? Did the reader need more information to understand? Does the paragraph need additional explanations? I realized after asking myself these questions that my essay did need more details to my specific support sentence to clarify what I was trying to say. I added more information to each sentence that I thought could use more to catch my reader’s attention. I made sure each paragraph was written properly to support my sentences.
