Rough Draft Edits
When I posted my rough draft on my blog, I had it all completed except for the last paragraph, or so I thought. I do not know why when writing my rough draft I was so absent minded. My original plan was to finish the last paragraph about the third article I had summarized, and then that's it, my paper would be over. After posting my rough draft on my blog and then reading over it, I noticed I had completely forgotten a conclusion, which was extremely silly of me. So I of course added a conclusion to my summaries. Besides the conclusions, I read over some of my classmates comments on my paper, and I realized I had not expressed my opinion on the summaries or the topics as it was instructed to do so in our assignment sheet. I had actually not put my personal opinion on any of the three articles anywhere in the paper. I am glad that my classmates had pointed that particular mistake out to me. Another change I had made from the rough to final draft was the way I transitioned from one paragraph to the next. I had not used transitions effectively in the rough draft. After looking over articles and helpful tools on transition sentences, I went through my paper and fixed the way I had used transitions. Other than the mistakes I noted above, I did not make any other changes from the rough draft to the final draft, excluding of course the correction of punctuation and my choice of words in some instances.
