Post 12

I have one more week left in the writing center. Though this week in the writing center I helped on thesis statement this girl had; it was 32 pages long. The only thing we did with it though was reread it to check for grammar error and just a fresh pair of eyes. This helped me out a lot because what I learned about myself is that even though the words are not there I tend to think they are and miss in their paper that the word is missing. Example: a sentence my read "I went to the store, and milk." but to me I will sometimes read it as "I went to the store, and got milk" even though "got" is not there. So for me how to fix that is slow down and take my time.

For my final portfolio the things I need to work on are revision strategies, sentence-level revision, active or passive voice, and plain and simple not being lazy and waiting for the last minute to write a paper.
