ATTWN Metacognitive Thinking

1.) One main change I had to make in my first draft, was that I had to change Part II to a third person point of view. I had originally written it in first person without thinking, but it now flows better than it did before.

2.) I believe that the peer review helped me improve my essay the most. I think that it was the most helpful, because the feedback I received was specific to the ATTWN essay, unlike the written feedback. Although some of the written feedback could be applied to the ATTWN essay, a lot of it did not need to be transferred. I did not share my essay with an adult, so I do not have any experience to determine how helpful that support would've been. I believe that reviewing my paper with my peers was the most helpful form of support, because it was edited by someone that I trust to give correct feedback.

3.) One way that could help improve my writing, is if we learn what to look for while editing our own/others' papers. I am not great at editing paragraph organization, but I am pretty good at editing grammar and punctuation. It would really improve my writing this year, if we learn about the different mistakes to look for while revising.

4.) If I were to grow in a specific area as a writer, I would want to learn how to write literature that is well put together but still entertaining. I know that I struggle with my papers having one and not both of those traits.
