After finishing my letter addressed to Mr. Robison, I was asked to evaluate the process I used while writing this. In this essay I will be addressing specific questions that lead me to critique and analyze my piece of writing. These five questions to be specific, are a reflection of my growth, improvement that needs to be addressed, defining a revision process, and what I still have to learn.
