Exercise 4.m

Often when given a writing assignment i procrastinate in till the day before the assignment is due. If i am good about it i will start maybe two or three days before the assignment is due but that is rarely ever the case. Before i write a paper i like to first make a list of my thoughts where i go into minor detail about what i am going to say about these ideas. Then i arrange my ideas in the order in which they will appear in my paper. After looking at all of my thoughts and ideas on paper i come up with my thesis. After i have my thesis and thoughts written out on paper i then proceed to write my paper. I like to write my papers at my computer in my room. I like to be in a comfortable and familiar place when i write. While writing my papers i often have music playing because i feel music helps me get in the zone which then i am able to write papers faster. I often reread my paragraphs and sentences after i write them to make sure they make sense. After i finish writing my paper i reread over it two or three times. I often end up moving paragraphs around and correcting grammatical mistakes. Often only my peers revise my work when a teacher plans for students to bring in their papers and have a peer review session.
