This week in Esol class, we learned the RID strategy. RID means to replace, insert and delete words in a text. The purpose of this strategy is to make different texts more precise.
We were instructed to choose a text we did in the past and to apply the RID on it to make it more precise. This strategy helped our text improve by deleting unecessary words that would make it longer than it needs to be, replacing words that can make it more interesting and inserting much more appropriate and fitting words to make it comprehensible. In this lesson,I learned that there are more ways to improve my writing using basic methods like RID. I believe that I pretty much achieved the learning objectives of this lesson since I was able to apply the strategy to my own works. I really liked this lesson as this strategy helped my text improve by deleting unnecessary words that would make it longer than it needs to be, replacing words that can make it more interesting and inserting much more appropriate and fitting words. After learning such a good strategy, I would definitely apply this in every literacy work I will do in the future to make sure I deleted unneeded and used the right words correctly.
