throughout the semester by addressing the mistakes I have made in order to show you that I
understand them. I go on to improve and fix these mistakes, such as citing, so that they become
my strengths.
The next SLO is organization and focus. The revised editorial I have presented in my portfolio
will help demonstrate my knowledge of organization and focus. You will see my use of
organization and focus in paragraph five of my revised editorial. I start off with a good topic
sentence addressing the opposition while I also talk about what will be presented I the paragraph.
The paragraph is unified because I talk about the details and benefits of the dam and how it will
affect people and other species. I finish off this paragraph with a transitional sentence to
introduce that the benefits that I just mentioned wont counter the negatives that I will be
discussing in the next paragraph. Although this paragraph demonstrates my ability to organize
and focus a single idea, I still need to improve upon applying this ability to the whole paper itself
so that it has a smoother flow
Academic language and design is the fifth SLO for the class and is evident in my revised
editorial and this cover letter. My persuasive paper contains a simple design in which the readers
will be able to follow. During the first draft of this letter, my classmate informed me that I could
use improvement on my diction and syntax. I have made these improvements by choosing
different words with the same meaning in order to break up repetition. Respect for gender
differences can be seen in the second paragraph of my revised editorial. When referring to the
beaver in this paragraph, I do not refer to it as only a he. I refer to the beaver as they to show
respect to gender differences.
Lastly, we have the collaboration SLO that is about the assessment of a writers work. I have
provided both my peer review of a classmates editorial as well as my edited editorial to prove my
understanding of this SLO. In my peer review I provide my classmate with a good amount of
information on what needs to be improved such as minor spelling errors and the inclusion of a
reference list. In my paper I have formatted my reference list properly because original it was
incorrect. I corrected my citing in my revised editorial by adding in quotation marks in the
appropriate locations. Another thing I corrected in my editorial was the correct use of citing by
the use of quotation marks in the first paragraph of my revised editorial. Both my teacher and
classmate have noticed my use of run-on sentences therefore I have corrected them accordingly.
