Within the peer review and drafts section of the portfolio, i have embedded both the drafts and worksheets that i have done over the course of the semester, which have helped me achieve a high grade in the course. I have embedded some extra work which includes peers and teacher feedback and paperwork which assisted my final work. Before each major paper was due, we would have peer reviews- we would get into small groups and have our classmates read our drafts. It was helpful to get peers' point of views in order for myself to adjust my paper and receive a higher grade.
Even though some of these pictures below may show negative work, everything i have included has somehow aided my achievement in this class. All of the steps below are apart of my writing process in this course. The drafts and prompts that are included demonstrate how the peer reviews and drafts helped me with my finalized major papers.

Literacy Narrative:
Revision:
For my first major project, i did a video instead of a paper because i am able to express myself better through talking instead of writing. Before revising my video, it was full of long, unnecessary stories which i did not always make clear or has a purpose for. After the peer review with my classmates, i realize that my video just dragged on with no central point, so i tried to condense the video a little and have a clear reasoning to my stories. Although my anecdotes related to the assignments instructions, it was not relevant to the purpose of the project. In my final draft, i was more focused and to the point with my main ideas.

Genre Analysis:
Revision:
I felt like i had a decent understanding of the assignment. Although, based on the grade and teacher comments i received, i focused on the wrong aspect within the paper. Based on my peers' comments, they believed i understood the assignment as well. Even though they thought i was doing the project correctly, they still corrected me on some parts. Alysa suggested i add more ethos,logos and pathos because my essay had plenty of each, which i ended up revising. Rosie proposed i focus on authority figures such as people who would read my article. She also advised me to explain how the article helps readers. Rosie's advice was very helpful and i ended up changing my essay around, following her input. My final draft included a clear definition of genre, was organized well and power was on target.

Annotated Bibliography:
Revision:
The annotated bibliography was the biggest project of the semester and it took me the longest time. I put all of my time and effort into this project. Unlike other major papers, there was not only one peer review for this project. All of the reviews helped me because the first one we had to have three annotations done and it showed me that i was doing them correctly with some imperfections. The second one was much more interesting and vital because it was closer to the due date and the majority of my paper was finish. Although, after peer' comments and reading their papers, i went back and changed and added to some of my annotations and my introduction. Based off of the 96% i received on this assignment, i believe my introductions and annotations were on point. Through my revisions, i found a plethora of re-occurring aspects within my paper and trends throughout the many articles i utilized. The final draft of this paper underwent many revisions such as adding, taking away and elucidating many aspects within the annotations.

Literature Review and Project Proposal:
Revision:
Along side the literacy narrative, this project was one that i actually enjoyed writing even though i had many revisions. Starting off with this paper, half the work was already done from my annotated bibliography, but i went back and fixed all the comments i received from my annotation bibliography and applied them to my literature review to achieve a higher grade. After having in class peer reviews and discussions with my teacher, i was happy with the 95% i received on this assignment. My revisions consisted of adding a project proposal to find and elaborate on the correct one for my discourse community. I had to revise the organization of my paper and i had to add topic sentences. My biggest revision on this paper was inserting only one project proposal and discussing the topic in an in-depth technique. My final literature review was a paper i was very proud of and depicted a scholarly piece of work.
