Control sentence-level error (grammar, punctuation, spelling)
Sentence level editing has never been a strong suit of mine. In college I at least tried to watch my grammar however it was still challenging I still have work to build on my editing skills, but I’ve seen small improvements. As I edit or write I try to be more observant on what I’m typing and if the sentence could be shortened or using different punctuation. In addition to the use of the English textbook They Say/ I Say I also would use different sentence formats to help structure some of my writing responses.
In the two reading samples above, I had used sentence structure from They Say/ I Say. They helped me format my ideas in a new way and they sounded a bit more educated it also switched up my voice in the writing.
Comparing the two edits needed between my second and third essay you notice that I put in time to look over the sentences level edits as well which can be seen from the decrease in sentence edits when reviewed.
