The writing process can be very long and tedious. Helpful, but tiresome. Effective, but annoying. Right now, we are in the middle of revising literacy narratives. We have already completed our first and second drafts. The revising hasn’t been too bad yet, just changing a few meanings of paragraphs and the way certain things come across. My main problem was that the beginning and closing of my papers didn’t seem to agree and my audience changed throughout the paper. I rewrote a second draft and I hope I solved those two problems. However, I’m quite sure I’m going to be writing a few more drafts before I’m ready to start editing and such. Although I believe all my ideas agree thus far, I feel like not everything in the paper is stated or comes across to the reader the way I would want it to. I want my paper to be an influence on people teaching young children to read. I want for those people to understand that kindness and not harsh correcting, is the most effective way to help a child in this particular area. My paper implies that, and I state that exact thing many times throughout it, but I would still like to portray my thoughts a little bit different. Right after this blog post, I will also post a copy of my rough draft. It’s not all that great (I mean it’s a rough draft so go figure..) but it’s what came to my mind as I was trying to write this narrative. I had trouble at first starting out my paper, but after I wrote a few sentences and got a couple of thoughts written down, I began to have more and more of an idea of what I wanted my paper to be about. When my paper is finally finished, I will also post the end product and hopefully, they will be quite different, but still have the same main idea and focus.
