How To Review The First Draft Of Your Essay

How should I review the first draft?

When you write an essay, you will have the first draft and that is only the first draft. You will have to review it. The best way to review an essay is to think of it in terms of macro and micro levels. So, at the macro level we'll be looking at; have I answered the question, and is it the right topic? You will also ask yourself; is the structure of the essay the best for that question? And the third question you will ask at the macro level would be, is my argument coherent? Am I telling a story that is coherent? So, you need to go through your essay at this macro level and find out whether you have answered the question, is the structure right, and is the essay coherent. The next level is the micro level. Here, you will go through and looking for any spelling mistakes, you're looking at your grammar and you're also going to look at; do I have any long sentences that go over several lines. I must admit I've read many essays in my time as a lecturer, and that is one of the biggest problems. Long-winded sentences that go on forever, which also have lots of ands and which and buts, all in the middle and no full stop. So, please check the length of your sentences and also check that the sentence you have is actually complete.
