Revision Guidelines

Revision Guidelines

Here are the steps you will follow to ensure you get the most out of the revision process.

  1. Student-led conference

    1. Schedule a meeting with me; Bring the text in question and your essay; Bring something to write with to take notes throughout.

    2. Begin the meeting by summarizing the content of your paper, your understanding of my feedback, and your plan for improving the paper. 

    3. That will launch our discussion, which will be a more natural back-and-forth


  1. Revise part of your paper

    1. Do not alter the original. Make a copy of the Google Doc, rename it with the word “Revision” before the document title, and go from there. 

    2. When I say part of you paper, here is what I mean:

      1. One-Page Paper: Thesis and 1 set of Context, Evidence, and Analysis.

      2. Essay: Thesis and 1 Body Paragraph

    3. Revision means “see again” and your revision should be ambitious. 


  1. Submit your revised elements 

    1. Add comments to your revision, at least 3-6, in order to highlight and discuss the changes you made in your revision. This is what I will focus on when regrading.

      1. Note: If I don’t notice a significant change or improvement in your work, your grade will not change.

    2. Do not submit the revision to the original assignment. I will make a new assignment that asks for your revision.
