Reminder: Essay Revisions due tomorrow

Revising Your Returned Essay

Decoding the comments:

·         An “x” at the beginning of a line means that there is an error.  If there are two “x’s,” then there are two errors (and so on).

·         Questions are written throughout the lines and in the margins.  These questions are designed to help you improve the quality of a sentence, idea, or paragraph.

Making revisions:

·         Highlight (or underline) any changes you make in your essay.

·         The highlights will reflect the efforts you made to revise and improve the quality of your paper.

Grade:

·         Depending on the quality of your revisions, you will see an improvement in your grade.

·         Use the rubric on the back of your cover sheet.

Due:

·         You have three days to make improvements to your paper.

·         Staple the new version (highlighted or underlined changes!) to your other drafts.
