Reflection on Project 3

In this blog post, I will be answering questions from Writing Public Lives. I will also be reflecting on my Project 3.

1. What was specifically revised from one draft to another?

The most significant revisions were content. I changed my argument and target audience after writing my first draft, so my entire piece was pretty much rewritten.

2. How did you reconsider your thesis or organization?

My thesis stayed the same despite the fact that my argument changed. This is because I was attempting to argue too many things in one paper, so my general thesis worked for both the broader and specific topics. My organization stayed roughly within the genre.

3. What led you to these changes?

I changed my audience and purpose.

4. How do these changes affect your credibility as an author?

I think they increase my credibility, because I was willing to reconstruct an entire piece to tailor to a specific audience and purpose.

5. How will these changes better address the audience or venue?

These changes will specifically target the audience and will hopefully be more persuasive.

6. How did you reconsider sentence structure and style?

I tried to allow my voice to shine through while varying sentence structure. I used a personable tone.

7. How will these changes assist your audience in understanding your purpose?

The changes will allow my audience to connect with me as an author and with my work.

8. Did you have to reconsider the conventions of your genre?

I switched genres, so yes.

9. How does the process of reflection help you reconsider your identity as a writer?

The process of reflection allows me to take the time to objectively critique my work after completing it.
