My revision process for project one was challenging because I really didn’t know how to change and edit my own project. I wasn’t necessarily a fan of my own revision writing process. Not being in class on Thursday was hard because I felt that my peers would give me advice on how to revise my project as well as see theirs to be able to understand how I can make mine better. My process for revising project one was actually calling Kevin. I asked if I could read his mind map to get a better sense on how I can improve mine. After we exchanged looking at each others mind maps I was able to make some improvements to each bubble of the mind map. I was able to revise my project in my room on my bed just how I started my draft. I found that it was easiest to sketch out my thoughts when I was most comfortable. I did my revision when I went home this weekend and found it easier at home because I had less distractions than if I was at school. It didn’t take me as long to do the revision because I only had to make some changes here and there. This process is different than my first draft because for my first draft I had to let all of my ideas flow out of the paper whereas my editing to my draft was more about picking apart with what I wrote. I was more stressed doing this than starting the project itself. I can never revise my own work because I don’t see for there to be anything to change so I found it very challenging to revise my mind map. I wish that when it came to my writing process I would be more in depth.
