Another Magazine Reflection

What did you learn?
Throughout this project I have learned many different styles of writing. While reviewing my peers articles in class, Randy pointed out a technique that Wyatt used in his article that throws the reader off but is used to enhance the reader's attention. I thought this was a useful skill because I noticed that when I read Wyatt's article it kept my full attention, I wasn't too sure on how or why but when pointed out I could understand how this kept my attention. Something else I learned was the importance of drafting and revision. I knew before that drafting and revision was important but I didn't realize until this project how useful it could actually be. Each time I made a new draft I could find something that I could fix.

How did I learn it?
I learned it by taking responsibility for my own work and trying the best I can to make it as interesting and informative as possible. By doing this, I naturally learned how to condense my writing to be more precise and to the point.

Why is this important?
It is important to learn what I learned because it makes my writing more interesting for the reader and gives them as much information as I possibly can without boring them. It is also important to know the significance of drafting and revision because it is not only used in school but also in the real world. We used drafting and revision at my internship when making my internship project. That was an example for me of using it in the real world.
