Before I had learned the rhetorical situations, literacy narratives, generating ideas and text, drafting, describing, narrating and dialogue. Each of them is the important element of a good passage. Today’s topic assessing your own writing and response and revising needs you. Finish writing a passage doesn’t mean it has already been completed and ready to hand in. It needs your own revision and assessment. Go over the passage and then ask yourself what’s your theme and purpose of it, whether your details and examples support it, what about the organization and rhetorical situations and so on. These are very useful steps for a good article. If there are some things you feel not good enough, and then revise it. After revising and assessing it for many times, the passage will become better. You should conquer yourself first, then you can conquer others.
