Step 2: This week, we need to do the podcast project, and we need to sit in a place and observe for two hours. I chose the Memorial Union of UC Davis, because I think this is a significant place for our campus, and represents our school as well. I learned that when writing this essay, I need to write in detail that what the people do when I observe them, so that it can better support my thesis, and I need to backup my thesis with my scholarly sources. For my sources, one of them are about the renewal project in Memorial Union, and this will bring more people to the place and enjoy the new inventions. When I was observing, I learn that I should not stare at people, and I should not let them know that I am observing them, or I would be seen as disrespectful to them and it would be harder to do my project. Step 3: From reading the two articles, I learned that we should not be rejected to revisions, instead, we are revising as we write. So we should not be afraid to look at the things we wrote once again. Revising can help us understand our paper more deeply, and looking back at the outline we wrote when we revise also helps us understand what we put in our essays. When we are revising, we also need to check the tone and the audience to make sure they are correct. As the author, reading our drafts out loud can help us figure out if anything sounds weird or incorrect, and therefore revise these mistakes. Grammar always come last because we are still making changes to the essay sentence by sentence, and we might delete some of them. Also, there is never a ending to revising, because there is no perfect piece of writing, and we can always revise our writings to make them better. Step 4: At the beginning of my revising process, I would start by reading over my drafts again, to see if I can find anything that seems strange to me. I will read my drafts after a while and not right after I finished writing them. I will mark the places that seems odd to me, and then I would look at the notes from the peer review, and see if there is anything me and my peers found the same, if I do, then it means that I really need some changes to that place and I will revise it. After that, I will look at the instructor’s feedback, and see if there are anything in depth that I need to change for my paper, such as details, sentence and paragraph structures. And then I will read both of my drafts out loud, to see if anything still needs to be changed or which parts of my different drafts is better. If in some places, the first draft sounds better, I can change it to the better version. At the same time, I can check for the tone and the audience, to see if I am aiming at the right place for this article. At the end, I will make some grammar revisions and finally read my draft out loud again to make sure everything is in place and correct. Step 5:
