Metacognitive Blog: And Then There Were None
There were multiple revisions that went into the And Then There Were None Essay. I
specifically changed the quantity of my examples and the quality of my thinking. Along with spelling
and grammar errors, I corrected my quotes, my knowledge, and I clarified ideas. The form of support
that helped me revise my essay the most was peer review with a checklist. I felt that my peers
writing the same essay helped me the most to perfect and reflect on my essay. All year I feel the peer
review will help me the most. It feels comfortable and less awkward when my peers and fellow
students revise my essay and help me out. I feel they are more honest with me and they have the time to
notice the tiny mistakes. As a writer everyone has room to grow. I need to grow in the field of properly
executing my ideas. I have ideas in my head but I have trouble putting it to paper, which resolves into
run-on paragraphs and in clarity. I hope by the end of the years I can expose my ideas thoroughly and
clearly with reasonable examples to support my reasoning.
I'm glad to hear that the peer review worked so well for you! Your goals are mature and practical. I'm excited to help you become a better writer this year!
