In some of my previous peer reviews, I found that the most helpful things to me were grammar and punctuation corrections, along with wording of my sentences. I also tend to write run-on sentences quite often so it is helpful to have someone go back and show me how I can shorten things up a bit. I dislike when people put others down about others writing when reviewing their essays, especially when it comes to more sensitive subjects that people care about deeply. 

The article “How tech created a global village - and put us at each other’s throats” by Nicholas Carr conveys a successful message. He uses a majority of ethos and logos to drive home his points. For this article the intended audience is those who use forms of social media and other platforms. 

For my pre writing process for project one i started with a basic outline. I then wrote my rough draft, and after looking over that and making changes I wrote my final copy. For this next project I am hoping to spend more time really thinking and brainstorming on what exactly I want to write and how to make the message I am sending clear and concise.  

Someone who has affected my writing positively is my sophomore english teacher. He pushed me to really think about what I was writing and not just answer the question and check off that imaginary box. He taught me how to actually back up the things I was writing and structure my essays properly. While it may have been difficult at the time it has definitely made my other english classes much easier. 

Throughout my years of high school english classes I have learned many different things. Such as how to properly use MLA format and write structured paragraphs, which helped me to improve on my essays and other papers. Some things I tend to struggle with is grammar and punctuation. On the other hand I find reading and most basic writing to be fairly easy for me.
