Recursive Process
I have changed the way I revise things a little bit. Although I have not changed how I revise some aspects such as reorganization, adding new paragraphs or local changes, I have changed how I revise my introductions and my use of evidence with their explanations. In regards to my change in revising my introduction, I am now more conscious of stating my claim clearly and giving a brief explanation of the texts I will be using in my piece. In the first draft of my essay on the liberal arts, my introduction was quite short. I did not state my own ideas or claims in a clear manner and I never gave any brief background on the texts. This made my introduction rather useless as it really only stated the main topic of my essay instead of setting me up for the rest of the essay. In revisions I made sure to include some brief background on the texts I used and I made sure that I made my claim about liberal arts was stated clearly and could surely be identified as my personal claim. As for my revisions with evidence, I had to be sure I was using the best quotes for my claims and that I was explaining them well enough. For the most part I feel I chose the strongest quotes and explained them well but I have become more aware of double checking and making sure I didn’t use too much or too little of the quote.
