Revision summary and evaluation

My peer reviewer was McKensie Crabtree. She read my paper, and gave me some feedback on it. Grammar was one of my biggest problems. McKensie told me which words I should delete, because they were extra words that I didn't need. She also told me which words I misspelled. Another grammar mistake I did was I didn't put some words in the right tense. Mckensie also made some punctuation corrections. She broke up some of my sentences, and inserted commas. In some sentences she got rid of my commas, and inserted semicolons. Another suggestion McKensie made was for me to switch the place of my first and second paragraphs. She thought my essay would make more sense if I switched those two paragraphs. Another suggestion McKensie made was for me to not repeat my self so much. She thought I repeated the same thing over and over again. The last suggestion she made was for me to reword my conclusion. She thought that my conclusion just repeated sentences from my previous paragraphs. She told me I should switch it up. Those were all the suggestions McKensie Crabtree gave me.
I'm going to use McKensie's comments to improve my essay. The first thing I am going to do is go back and fix all my grammar mistakes. I will take out all the extra words I don't need. Also I will fix all my spelling and tense errors. I will read through my paper and make sure everything is spelled right, and that all my words are in the right tense. The next thing I am going to fix is all my punctuation errors. I will go back and insert periods where they are needed.I will break up some of my sentences, so that they don't look like run-ons. I will go back and insert some semicolons where they should be instead of commas. After I fix those mistakes, I am going to read through my paper and reword some things. I am going to reword some things so it does not sound like I am repeating myself. I will try to change things up. The next thing I am going to do is redo my conclusion. I am going to rewrite it so that it does not sound like it is just repeating everything from the body paragraphs. Those are all the revisions I am going to make to my paper.
