1st Draft Self-Evaluation on Essay #5
After reading my first draft of my final sense essay, I realize I have a lot of work to do. The first draft was a great start, and the way I chose to organize it was very attractive to the reader’s eyes. There were the typical grammar errors, that will need fixed. The apa style was formatted correctly. There was no work cited page, which is not good. There needs to be a work cited page with four references, so that is something I definitely will have to add to my final essay before reviewing for final grade.
The way I took my talent of playing the piano, and tied it into my sense of touch was very interesting. The idea of talking about each letter of the word piano was very artistic. Definitely kept my interest the entire time I read this essay. It could use a little more for each section. All around the paper read as if it was just thrown together in a short amount of time, there needs to be more thought put into this essay.
Hopefully when I review the final draft, it will have developed into a more solid, detailed essay. Along with the work cited to make the final piece look professional. The way I inserted a graphic for the first page really makes the first page attractive to me as the reader. I tend to not be interested when I read a essay, you could say, I judge a book by the cover. This is not a good thing, but that is how I view things. All around, it was an ok first draft, needs a lot of work.
