How my literacy narrative changed

My literacy narrative changed quite a bit before I arrived at the final draft. I tend to write fast and get a whole paper written before I look back on it. So I always have to read over my first draft to make sure everything that sounded good in my head sounds good out loud. I picked out a lot of mistakes in this process. We peer edited in class. This was a big help. It is always good to get a fresh pair of eyes to go over you paper. Having other students look at my paper was really nice because they found a lot of things that I had looked over. Most of what I changed from the peer edit was grammar and sentence flow. I changed a few parts of my paper so they would sound better. I also changed a lot of repetitive words to avoid using that same word multiple times. Next we did the teacher edit. This was also very helpful. Most of what my paper needed was some more grammatical changes. I also took out a few things within my paper that were unnecessary. I rephrased some sentences so they made more sense as well. After all of this I think my paper has turned out very well.
