This week we revised out essays. This was extremely helpful to me. When I revise my essays I never know what to change, keep or take out. Our professor helped us with a lot of things that I didn't even. One by one she would say something for us to fix and would give us 5-7 minutes to change it.

The first thing she told us to do was make sure your title is original. Even if we used our song lyrics for a title that should be in the introduction paragraph. Our title should be creative and catch attention. Next was looking for repetition and on sentences. One phrase that I was you a lot " I'll never forget that moment". I never realized I was using that so much. Another thing was grammar errors such as using a semi colon or comma the wrong way. Finally we had to judge if our transition sentences made the essay flow. Without a good transition sentence, your whole essay can awkward.
