Using a ruler turned out to be very effective. I find that working with a partner is always better than trying to revise your own paper.
Reading the essay sentence by sentence was a great way to find grammar errors especially words that were missing.
This was all very helpful stuff to do to make sure that our essays are error free. I've never read my essay backwards before it was definitly different.
Wow! Because I haven't commented in a while I am trying to hurry and catch back up... and MAN!!!! I wish I remembered this when I was editing my essay!!!! I think it could've helped!!! :( Dang :(
REVISING AND EDITING WAS A GOOD WAY TO CHECK OUR MISTAKES AND GET FEEDBACK.
I liked these tips, it made it easier and challenging when revising my essay.
