Thursday, our rough drafts were due in class. We needed to have them printed and completely written in order to edit in class. Instead of exchanging in class, we did a self- edit of our papers. We were given a form with different editing questions which we filled out while editing our paper. We were able to ask Ms. Flournoy questions about our thesis's, papers, etc, and get feedback. The homework for the night was to finish editing your rough draft and polish to turn in as the final draft on Friday. It needed to be printed for class on Friday.
I think it would have also been helpful if we did a group/ peer edit so we could have gotten another opinion and been able to strengthen our papers more. I think it also would've been effective if we had more of a group discussion and maybe another draft due. But the students should have asked themselves, is my paper edited completely? Are there any details or information did I miss? Did I completely explain my thesis in all my paragraphs? Such questions would have helped the students completely revise and look at their papers, for a cleaner, polished, final draft.
