For my portfolio, I have chosen to revise my ad analysis paper. My ad analysis paper has a strong thesis statement and has good claims that all relate to the thesis statement. In my opinion, I felt like I enjoyed writing this essay more than the others in the semester. I was proud of my claims that I came up with, and I felt that I clearly and vividly described the ad so that someone who has not seen the ad, would be able to picture it in their minds.
However, after receiving feedback from my essay I learned that while I had well thought out claims, I needed to further explain them. This was not the first time I have received this comment on an essay, so I figured I would reread my essay and try to fix the problem for my portfolio review. First I will read each paragraph individually. Then I will ask myself, "did I explain this as much as I could?" If not, I will go back and further expand on my ideas. If yes, then I can move onto the next paragraph. These steps will help me to further revise my essay.
Also, I need to check for grammar and mechanics mistakes. When I type a paper, I often times submit it without fully rechecking my work. I will make sure to print my essay when I am done revising it, and then read it over as if I am peer reviewing with another student. This will allow me to be grammar free and have all of my thoughts clearly expressed.
