Between my rough draft and my final copy of the And Then There Were None essay I changed many things. I added more commentary and details to my story and also increased the length of explanation. Some of my quotes were not in the right format and some references I made to the book were not present tense so I changed those.
I think the peer revision and the checklist help equally yet more then the parent review since peers were writing stories in the same format and the checklist told me what I needed. Peers helped compare my essay to the checklist making sure I covered everything and telling me what I needed to add.
The peer revision and checklist will help me improve my writing throughout the year since sometimes I might not be able to find a mistake but a friend will. A checklist is a good way to make sure I include everything.
The thing I probably need to improve the most on this year is correctly using punctuation such as commas. I also want to improve on using good sentence structure and grammar. At the end of the year I want to be able to correctly write essays with very few punctuational errors and use complex sentences as well as a variety of transition words.
