Question

Write a substantial paragraph or two, with a topic sentence or mini-thesis, through which you respond to the students in this video as you form your own approaches to planning your writing process. You might begin by identifying the moments that stand out to you the most. Which student videos seem to make the most sense to you? With whom do you agree? Disagree? What patterns do you find among the student sound bites? Which ideas were the most instructive or helpful to you? What surprised you? How have your own ideas about planning and process come into focus through the videos?

The purpose of Part Three of Becoming a College Writer is to deepen your awareness of your writing process so that you can work strategically to improve your approach to each step. And, of course, Becoming a College Writer emphasizes the essential value of Revising Repeatedly from Feedback as the center of your process. All of the student sound bites in this lesson discuss how important time management and planning are for successful college writing. Each student’s plan will look different, including yours. The important thing is that you have one, and that you put thought and care into it.
