Revisions

This week in class we had to revise our classmate literacy narratives. We would circulate the narratives around the class and revise them.  Each student would get about three papers and revise them for grammatical, comma, and quotations errors.  Two papers stood out to me when I was revising. They were both written perfectly and really expressed how they found the love for reading and writing.

The first literacy narrative was about how he was struggling in a new school and relied on reading and writing to get him through it. He then wrote about how he thought the teacher was out to get him. But then an event happened when he wrote a great paper and found his love for English. The second narrative was about how a big test was coming up and she was really nervous about the paragraph portion of the test. She said she had never really had an interest in English and writing before the paper. When she got the topic of the paper, she expressed  that the words jumped onto the paper and she felt really great about the paper. When she got the paper back she got the best score in the grade. After this paper she found the love for writing. Both of these papers were great papers and expressed how they found the love for reading and writing.
