Based on the strong feedback I received from the writing conference, I intend to revise my essay in a more precise format in relation to my essay topic. I thought my piece of writing was near complete, however, I came to the assumption that my ideas expressed needed to be backed up with more key examples to strengthen my argument. While the students went over there essay piece by piece I began to catch on to the repetitive or common errors that existed throughout several of the essays. I was a good learning experience for me to try and look at others compositions as it helped me to figure out how I am going to make my essay even better. I am the type of person that writes essays that are lengthy, so cutting down and making more of my word choice clear and precise was another key element that I found essential to my writing process. I feel that now I have been asked to go back over my essay and fix such common mistakes, I will not be as confused or lost. Overall, the writing conference opened my eyes to new angles of writing, both good and bad.

I agree with you laura, all of us in the group had some common errors to our writing. It was a good learning experience and a good chance to get to see how each other write. Similar to you I tend to write a lot more than needed, but by picking the right words and taking out what I don't need the essay turns out pretty good. From what I heard of your essay the other day though it sounded great!
