Revising writing

 Revising writing




The post I was rewriting was about active reading, from the articles I read I tried to keep a firm but smooth flowing paragraph structure and tried to mix up my punctuation by not just using commas and full stops. I also tried to adjust my paragraphs so they had a different structure, I tried to avoid repetition but with my dyslexia, it was a little tough so I looked up words for synonyms; the main point of my paragraph was at the beginning and my examples and supporting evidence was in the middle and at the end of my paragraph I attempted to make it flow into the next paragraph. I made an effort to adjust my sentences with a comma or full stop because it's something I have a problem with.

When it came to writing I made a few mental notes of the steps I needed to take and I was constantly checking back on my feedback to see what else I could've changed within my blog. I've gotten costumed to spell checking as that was one of the tips recommended to me whilst I was reading my feedback, all in all, this has been an educational experience that has made me think twice about what I'm writing and now I've learned new writing techniques for paragraphs and sentences and hope to use them in the future

These links acted as a guide to help me improve.

Peer review #2

 Peer review  This weeks peer review tasks were interesting to write comments about the article was of use to me,  Feedback . However it was too long and took me too long to even skim through, I did try to use different reading techniques. From my first blog I’m trying to learn how to properly phrase my sentences and use different methods of writing. I learned that commas aren’t the only thing I can use to separate my sentences, for example brackets/commas; and dashes- may be used to separate sentences. This is a method used to make your sentences look and sound better; it adds flair. The other new techniques that I want to use in my next blog is keeping my paragraphs structured correctly and straight to the point. In the article the study stated “ In other words, the finding suggests that, although the quality of peer feedback that students receive may not have a direct impact on the quality of their final projects, students’ ability to critically evaluate and analytical...

Introduction

Introducing myself. Hello people my name is Donell Usher, my friends used to call me Nelly for short until it got old. Im 18 years old and I would like to think of myself as a very open guy, no matter the circumstances I always find the good in things.  Hobbies. I’m always open to try new things but in most recent years i’ve always found myself spending a lot of my time behind a commuter screen. I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT! Whenever all the lads have some free time we can find some enjoyment from from a night out or some gaming!   Future expectations. What i’m looking forward to the most is the so called “college experience”, making new friends and exploring my course. My interest in gaming definitely influenced what college course I chose, I’m extremely ecstatic to start using a camera for one of my modules. This is amazing to me because it’s something new, thrilling and educational. I’m really liking the enthusiasm and energy the lectures are bringing to school, it not only se...

 Introduction As of late I read an article about active reading and how the educational system breads children from a young age to get familiar with it. Active reading is the process of asking questions while reading or analyzing  any written piece of text, however there are two views of active reading. One study (done by Kintsch and van Dijk) indicated that active reading is something that can be foreseen by thoroughly examining the text structure.  However others thought differently, they claimed that there are four factors that influence the effectiveness of active reading and those are what material are you covering, how you plan to learn the material you have read, how much time it takes for you to learn what you've read and the characteristics of the learner. The last one surprised me because that means active reading might actually be suited for certain people and not everyone can benefit from it.  Active reading not only allows the learner to challenge themse...
