Definition Essay
A good piece of academic writing should be simple, not complex to the reader, filled
with visualization for the reader. The audience attention should be immediately obtained in a
good academic writing. Through the workshops attended, the class has been able to compile
lists of ideas for what a good academic writing should look like to the class. On May 21st, the
class formed workshops for a paper creation by drawing cartoon pictures of what steps would
be taken to prepare a paper for presentation. The workshop formed helped in the organization
of an academic writing that has never been performed in the past by some of the students,
including myself.
The most interesting topic of discussion and writing process experienced in the course
is the Revision Process. During the revision process, the writer has the ability to change
anything from the wording to indentations in the body of the writing. During a classroom
activity on May 23rd
, the class was assigned to rewrite a paragraph that was assigned by
Professor Keaton. The class was given three paragraphs and asked by the Professor to identify
the revising that was performed to the paragraphs. Students were asked to give insight on what
they thought would be a better revised model. Professor Keaton asked the class for feedback on
what thoughtful revision meant to the groups. Thoughtful revision should for all intent and
purposes are a self-inventory of the authors writing for the audience to interpret the meaning.

Revision is heartfelt, keeps the audience attention, and does sway the reader to
understand its content. During this same day on May 23rd
, the subject of choice for the blog
created was Revision. Even though revision is a constant reflected upon subject, it is a
necessary subject to reflected upon. Without revising, the best writing possibilities could not be
achieved because academic writers need it to give a clear, concise writing and understanding of
the discussed subject at hand. Self-corrections are always a good rule of thumb for revising, but
critiquing performed by an unbiased individual is always the norm because you will be given
honest feedback for thoughtful revision from new eyes, a new perspective. During high school
years, having the privilege to write academically was not a given option. In college, writing
academically is as common as drinking a glass of water.
Rewinding the clock and adding writing into daily English classroom assignments
would be wonderful so students of the 80s could be well prepared for the writing process.
High School English classes in the 80s were mostly of Literature-based structure. The
enjoyment of reading and not writing is now a thing of the past, A Dream Deferred,
(Langston Hughes). Speaking of a dream deferred, wanting to become a high school English
teacher is going to require intense reading, writing on a collegiate level for the task at hand.
Craving all the rules of engagement for writing academically is the only way to lead future
students in the correct formats for creating and revising a paper. Some of the academic
resources for English Expository Writing is the Models for Writers, Eleventh Edition, library
resources, online web/media, and finally, the Professor of the English class that is attended.
With the resources stated above, achievement of academic writing is within reach.
