Cohesive Writing- The Product
Jago Chapter #5

I really enjoyed Jago's stressed appritiation with revision. I personally should practise this process fo writing more often. if I chose to, I would most definitly be a much better writer. It is laziness combined with frustration. Laziness happens because most students just wrote the entire paper in that one sitting. The last thing they would want to do is re-read what they just wrote and critique it. Well, that is how i always feel. However, I always say I will read it over before I turn it in and make those corrections then... haha... yup that never happens either. That is laziness, and frustration comes from researching a topic for a month, finally putting a paper or essay together creating this massive paper establishing your thoughts and arguements... when i am finished with the paper, I never want to hear about the topic or read anything on the topic for at least 3 months. This is how I am and I assume a lot of students feel the same way about writing cohesivly.
I enjoyed Jago's Five - Day Writing Plan. It is a Five days where the students can focuse on revision in class and out of class, and they always will recieve feedback everyday. I know I would not write a rough draft on my own, every student should however, but many do not. If a teacher would make a rubric establishing due dates and teaching the ritual of writing an effective paper then this revision should happen in class and a process needs to be laid out for the students to abide by.
