Step 1: Reading Out Loud, Raw and Real

1. Gather your materials: You'll need your rough draft, a quiet space, and a screen recording tool like Screencastify.

2. Set the scene: Briefly introduce yourself and your essay in the recording. Mention the essay prompt and whether you chose to write about Improvement, Change, or You didn't change

3. Hit record and read! Don't worry about edits or pauses – read your essay exactly as you wrote it, with all its imperfections and nuances. This unfiltered reading will help you hear your writing and catch any awkward phrasing or unclear flow.

Step 2: Reviewing with an Eye for Improvement

1. Play back your recording: Listen actively, taking notes or highlighting sections that stood out to you – for better or worse.

2. Identify opportunities: Ask yourself these reflection questions:

Clarity: Were your main points and arguments easy to understand? Did any transitions need smoothing?

Engagement: Did you find yourself losing interest at any point? Could you add details or anecdotes to make the essay more captivating?

Style and Voice: Did your writing feel authentic and consistent? Could you strengthen your word choice or sentence structure?

Impact: Did your essay leave a lasting impression? Did it achieve the intended emotional or intellectual response?

1. Note down specific changes: Make a list of concrete edits you want to make based on your reflections.

Step 3: Reflection for Revision

Now that you've analyzed your writing through the lens of screencasting, it's time to solidify your learnings. Answer these reflection questions to demonstrate your readiness for the final draft:

1. What was the most valuable insight you gained from recording yourself reading your essay?

2. Identify and explain two specific areas where you plan to improve your writing based on your review.

3. Describe one concrete action you will take to strengthen your voice and style in the final draft.

4. Explain how revising your essay using this method has prepared you to write a stronger final draft.
