Students Like Shifts!
“The shifts revision process, in my opinion, turned my essay
into a college-level essay. The first draft was very simplistic and lacked
support. The second draft had depth and flow.” (4/7)
“My second draft is LIGHT YEARS ahead of my first draft. The
shifts process helped my essay sound more mature.” (3/6)
“My 2nd draft is noticeably better. The Flow is
there. The Analysis is there. The process was helpful and easy to follow.”
(5/6)
“The shifts approach is much less formulaic. You tailor each
essay to the prompt and piece that you are writing about.” (3/6)
“The shifts approach was helpful not only in making it less
formulaic, but also in getting it done – instead of having to jump around and
collect snippets of support, I could follow the poem’s structure.” (3/6)
“The shifts process
brought a much needed cohesion to the paper. The improved formatting allowed
for more effective analysis and more of a free-flowing thought process to fully
address the prompt.” (5/6)
“My ‘shifts’ draft is more persuasive. It went into more
depth about the complexity of the poem as well.” (5/6)
“Analyzing shifts naturally analyzes complexity because
complexity comes with change / shifts.” (4/6)
“[The shifts process] made addressing the complexity of the
poem much easier.” (3/5)
“The shifts process made my writing better just because I
had a strategy. I didn’t know what to do or how to organize my writing in my
first draft.” (2/4)
“It was refreshing to have a new method of essay writing.”
(5/6)
“It makes me feel like I’m a better writer.” (2/4)
“So, so, so…..SO much
better!” (2/6)
