Developing strategies for reading, drafting, collaborating, revising, and editing as helped me through this semester. I think developing strategies before your work will help you to complete the assignment fast and effectively. Such as coming up with many drafts of your writing. With many drafts, you have many flaws that will help you understand you’re writing, that will make it better. Especially working with a small amount time. With these drafts you can combine them and rephrase your words for it to make sense. Which is part of the editing. Like I mentioned before my strategy for drafts is to make as many until I am satisfied since, making many drafts is like another way of writing your ideas down. For collaborating, a strategy that can help is allowing someone in your class to revise your work and you revise his/her work. This will allow you both to help each other on the assignment. You can even get an idea from that person’s writing or strategy from them that you think will help you in your writing. Revising your work will be less effective than someone revising your work like I mentioned before. I think revising is a major thing that you must do since it will allow you to read your own work for any mispunctuated, grammar, and see if you missed any questions. Which will add up with you editing. I think my editing strategy will have to be something similar with my drafting and revising strategies since you are already editing at moment.  

Recognizing and practicing key rhetorical terms and strategies while always being used in your writing. I am always have been concerned about being formal all the time, which sometimes I cannot tell If I am or not. I am always scared in how the reader may think of me. I will say that pathos, ethos, and logos were a big part of my writing to persuade my audience and have facts/statistics for my writing. I would include my opinion after I wrote a fact from another source but, I have used more logos than ethos, and pathos. Stance is something that will help me show where I am in my writing and help me get to my audience. Determining your audience will be helpful since it will determine in how you will write and know what kind of information you should include and exclude.

I think composing texts to integrate my stance has improved with many strategies such as summary, critical analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and argumentation. The most effective to me must be all of them. With each strategy being used correctly you can make a good essay. Especially when analyzing others to gather ideas or strategies they apply to your own writing. Which I used previously in high school and college. Which is summary of the major key points for your essay, supporting your idea with your evidence, and combing ideas to make one. I have done them all with my drafts, which are extremely helpful to make a good essay. Although using all of these, the most important must be to execute your writing.
