Developing revision goals and revising the draft (literacy narrative)

C-87

After reading her draft and considering the feedback from her classmates, Nguyen realized that she had chosen a good direction but that she hadn’t focused her draft to meet the expectations of the assignment. As her classmates pointed out, her rough draft was more a portrait of the Vietnam War veteran and not really a literacy narrative. With her classmates’ questions and suggestions in mind, Nguyen developed some goals for revising her draft.
