Past Stories

A past story that I wrote was about a trip that I took on spring break to Florida. It was a narrative essay in which I told the story of my trip. In writing this story, I first began to make an outline. In my outline I had an introduction, a body with important events that happened on the trip, and a conclusion. After making the outline I put all the different pieces together and wrote a rough draft. When I wrote my rough draft I looked over my paper many of times to see if I left any main points out or to see if I could be more specific on my ideas. I also looked to see if my sentences made sense. When I finally thought I had everything that I needed in my paper, I looked over it to see if there was any mistakes in my grammar, spelling, and punctuation. After I was finished, I revised and edited my paper one my time before I turned it in. I think the difference in revising and editing is, revising is looking at the whole story and fixing mistakes in the story and editing also has to do with fixing mistakes in the story, but it is grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes.
