week 15

Time has flown by this semester. We are now writing our final blog for the semester. I chose to edit a paper that my group was writing for our advertising project. Everyone had their own section to write. I went over the assignment with my group, page by page. We found mistakes that could have been avoided the first time. We all worked as a group and looked over the assignment. I was going through the paper, using what I learned in my editing and PR writing class. The session was helpful for all of us. Reading the paper out loud was key in hearing the mistakes. Adding a comma, starting a new sentence or taking out a word that didn’t need to be used.

The assignments helped me to have a better understanding of seeing other writing styles. Each person writes differently. That is what makes it better for us to learn more. The experience I had plus the ones that I will have in the future will prepare me in my career.

A mistake that I found was in an online article. They were simple spelling mistakes that could have been avoided if the writer reread it.

The writer wrote, “ Brake ups and makeups are the only consistent things in the relationship.”  It should be break ups and make ups.

Good luck to everyone on finals!!! Happy Holidays!
