English II

Unit V Discussion Board Question

In this unit, we have focused on revising and editing; understanding expectations; gaining perspective on your writing; ways to outline your paper; the importance of keeping the reader in mind; and how you can best read, process, and respond to feedback. Part of the revision process is sharing with others about what you have experienced. You never know what might help others in their process. Further, sometimes it can help you to better understand and reflect upon your process when you have the opportunity to write it down.

For this unit's discussion, consider the process you have gone through as you revised your paper so far—the introduction and literature review. What have you found to be most helpful for you? What would you share with others about your process? What techniques, tips, and methods have you used to help the process go more smoothly for you? You can also describe methods that were not as helpful to you and what you would like to do in the future that you think might be better.

Keep in mind that the spirit of this writing is to think about ways that you and others might improve your writing process.

Please include the name of the person or question to which you are replying in the subject line. For example, "Tom's response to Susan's comment."

RE: Unit V Discussion Board Question

I have to be honest, each unit is becoming more challenging. I thought I was a fairly good writer and always did well in English classes, This literature review revision is probably the most challenging writing assignment I have had to do in the last 20 years. I love learning the process as it is helping me tremendously at my work in writing proposals and informative papers for training.

For my paper specifically, I have found that I am lacking in where I expand on what my outside sources claim, since this is the informative portion of the paper. I have been writing as a research paper and not argumentative and that is the hardest thing to get past when performing the revision.
