COMP 2 Annotated Bibliography Revision Narrative

Week 6: Creating Bibliographies and Practicing MLA Citation

Revision Narrative Assignment Sheet and Rubric After feedback has been received from your peer group and course instructor, you are

responsible for making appropriate changes and reflecting upon these changes from initial draft to

final submitted draft. This assignment is reflective in nature and you are not expected to quote

assigned reading or course content. Instead, think about the assignment holistically and trace

your drafting stages from beginning to final product.

Our personal identities and experiences affect how we view ourselves as writers, and we need a certain level of self-awareness as writers in order to recognize the power and control we have to guide how we compose texts. This Revision Narrative Worksheet should help you approach two outcomes: demonstrating motivated decision-making and revision throughout an ongoing process of composition and articulating connections between one’s identity and experiences and the rhetorical choices one makes. As you answer the questions on this worksheet, narrate how your awareness and decisions changed across the revision process for this project. Notes:

• Be as specific as possible about the realizations and decisions you narrate, but don’t feel like you have to include every little thing you realized or did.

• The “work on your own” category is where you can describe steps you took to revise beyond the required steps I ask you to complete. It could include additional exercises you did on your own outside of class, visits to academic resource centers, things you applied based on any readings, feedback you solicited from someone outside of class, etc. Either replace the “work on your own” box with a description of what you did or delete those rows if you’re not using them.

• To successfully complete this Revision Narrative worksheet, your answers should do the following:

o demonstrate the use of a variety of revision strategies o articulate the potential influence or consequences of one’s identity and experiences

as the composer o reflect on the affective experiences of the composition process

You do not need to integrate all of the suggested changes, but goal of this assignment is to get

you thinking about the writing process at large and consider the steps you take when you revise

your own composition. To receive full credit, review the assignment rubric below and complete the

following revision narrative outline.

Individual revision process

1. Do you think your local revisions or global revisions were more impactful to creating a better product? Why? In what ways?

2. Was there any significant feedback you received but chose to disregard? Why? (For instance, maybe someone gave you a suggestion for a big change, but that suggestion would’ve taken you further away from a goal you were trying to achieve.)

3. If you could, what would you have done differently during this writing process?

4. What challenged you during this writing process? How did that make you feel, and why? How did you respond?

5. What do you know about your own identity or experiences that helps you understand how this composition process went? How might this reflection help you in future writing situations?

6. What are you proud of from this writing process? How do you feel now that it’s over? Why do you think that is?
