Look Back I believe that we have to look back at what we edit before we turn into the teacher.
I believe this because it happened to me lots of times. One time it happened to me when I was told to write a made up story in my Health class.The story I was told to write about was “The passengers in the drunken driver’s car”. I didn’t know what to think, but I had to think to made up for my grades. I just tried to remember any kind of story that related to this kind of topic. After a while I thought I could write about adults who get drunk because I just couldn’t think about any story about young people who had drank alcohol. I started to edit the story feeling easiness that I was at least done with my thinking. I turned in the essay to my teacher not looking at my paper again. After a week my teacher returned the paper to me with a grade on it. She began to tell me that I did a great job, but when I looked at my paper I wasn’t happy. I felt bad because when I read my paper again there were some words that I didn’t even finish writing. My teacher told me that it made sense but, overall she said she gave me a 100 because she said spelling didn’t matter. I realized that I had to look back at at my editing before I handed back to her. I realized too that my brain is faster that my hand and I was thinking faster. That is why I believe that we need to proofread our papers before we turn them into the teacher.
