I am having trouble doing a critique on myself. If anyone could help that would be great. Read the claim letter I wrote below.

1. What aspects of your writing in the project are effective and why do you think they are effective? Be specific.

2. What do you think you could have improved in your written project and how would you improve it? Be specific.

3. Briefly describe the process you used to write the project. (In other words, did you begin by gathering ideas? How? What did you review before beginning to write? How did you choose a topic?

What revision strategies/processes did you use? The goal is to explain your writing process.) Do you think this process was effective? Why or why not?
