My chosen Significant Writing Project shows my ability to perform my local revision. My ability to perform local revisions is seen quite often in my sentence level structure to make sure it is clear and readable, and it is also seen in my change in word choices. This local revision is seen in several places such as:
Original:
The humanities are struggling to catch up with the modern area, their respect and dedication to the ways of yore turning more into a hindrance than a niche.
Revised:
The humanities are struggling to catch up with the modern era, their respect and dedication to the ways of yore preventing them from reaping the rewards science integration.
My chosen Significant Writing Project also shows my ability to cite sources within my text. My ability to cite sources within my text has been a work-in-progress throughout the year. This essay best exemplifies my ability to cite the sources within my text in this example:
“Novels force you to really put yourself in someone else’s shoes because “they capture a layer of reality that reductionism cannot”(Lehrer, Jonah).”
Now citing the actual articles, themselves in my Bibliography was much more difficult to do. After a lot of reading in the different formats and requirements, and a lot of failed attempts I ended my semester being able to successfully cite and article:
Ma, Yo-Yo. “Necessary Edges: Arts, Empathy, and education.” Emerging: Contemporary . Readings for writers, edited by Barclay Barrios 3rd ed, Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2016, … . pg. 257-261.
