Revision Letter
            When getting back a draft of an essay, I follow a very specific process in order to revise the paper. First, I make sure to read all of the comments on the essay. I take note of what I did well, and what areas of my paper need some improvement. The area I like to focus on most is the content of my essay, and how it can be improved. I feel like grammar and sentence structure can be fixed relatively easily, so that is not an area that I put too much thought into. I just want to make sure that my essay flows and that all of my points and giving of a clear message to the reader.

            If I get back an essay and it is completely marked up and has a bad grade, I may have to consider altering my revising techniques. In that case, I may just have to use the comments given to me in order to completely re-write my entire paper. It may be tedious, but it is easier than trying to fix an essay that is already completely broken. That being said, knowing that revising will improve my final grade of the paper inspires me to work harder at it. It may be annoying and frustrating at times, but, in the end, it is for a good reason.
