PREWRITING AND REVISING

As highlighted, this essay has an excellent introduction regarding the steps and the process involved in constructing a research paper. The writer has illustrated the preferred writing process that entails prewriting, revision, and rewriting. Prewriting, outlining, writing, and editing are the four steps of the writing process. The first phase in this process, "prewriting," is crucial. When students are in the "creating ideas" phase of the writing process, they try to zero in on a subject and a stance or point of view that will resonate with a certain readership. Students should be given enough time for pre-writing to allow them to establish an outline or plan for the project. This introduction has explicitly illustrated how one can write a good research paper by following the highlighted steps.

In this piece, the writer has very well cited the sources using the correct method. Academic honesty is revered as the most outstanding value in the ethos of scholarly writing. This implies that the academic community strongly emphasizes the need to be fair, honest, truthful, and responsible in all forms of academic writing. Thus, the primary significance of citations is that they preserve this standard of scholarship. To back up, the claims writers make in their reports, they often cite other publications in their research (Ballenger, & Myers, 2019). Accurate citations also show respect for the authors of the consulted sources. It is, however, important to state the title of each article.

Although the introduction is clear, a clear thesis is not apparent in this piece. The thesis statement requires refinement and should demonstrate exceptional synthesis of analytical concepts and mastery of course information. The writer shows strong knowledge and interest in the subject and delivers a Very Good argument. A thesis may seem impossible initially, but with careful preparation and the right approach, you may finish it quickly and easily. Finishing your rough draft means you have a finished piece of work to submit to your thesis committee. You may uncover evidence and findings that do not support your thesis at first, or you may find new areas you want to investigate to fortify your perspective. Evaluating evidence to produce a coherent argument is best done during the draft phase. Write your thesis with your target readers in mind. Because of your superior knowledge, you should assume that your readers know less about the issue than you do. Pay close attention to the clarity with which you describe your subject, methods, and outcomes. If you work with someone who is both a skilled writer and an expert in your field, you should see if he is willing to offer you some input.

I did not feel lost. The article is well-structured and easy to follow. The essay is structured more around the narrative arc of the text(s) it analyzes than the analytical claims that would strengthen the thesis statement. While the essay does have some valid ideas, they are presented in a disorganized manner.

Sentences and paragraphs require polishing (as a rule of thumb, think of PIE: each paragraph in a critical essay needs a Point, an Illustration, and an Explanation). The general rule of thumb when writing is to devote just one paragraph to a topic or subject. Start a new paragraph whenever you want to introduce a new thought. Certain obvious signs might help determine if you have moved on to a new subject. One paragraph may include both a concept and its supporting proof. As long as they are all related to the paragraph's main idea, you may have numerous points in a single paragraph. If your points are too lengthy, try expanding on them in their paragraphs.

In summation, the writer managed to address all the prompts but needs some polishing. While working on a draft, a writer will engage in extensive revision, both of the ideas and the presentation. Before making sentence-by-sentence adjustments, it's better to concentrate on the big picture and see how everything fits together (Breuer, 2019). That is not to say that a full paper revision is necessary. Large-scale editing sometimes entails rewriting sections of the introduction to make them seem more like the rest of the paper. If you're making a substantial change, you may need to provide fresh evidence showing the revised approach improves your message's chances of connecting with your intended audience.
