Final Revision 1

Once you have chosen one of the first two essays to revise and expand for Final Revision #1, complete the first part of the

, labeled “Current”; the easiest way to do this is to copy and paste each sentence of your essay into the appropriate place in the template.REMINDERS:

As you are completing the template, remember the following:

• Only one sentence per item in the outline. The outline is expandable, so add as needed.
• Be accurate in where you are putting sentences.
• For a line that says support, only quotes, examples, statistics, or other source material goes there.
• Explanation is where you are explaining the relevance and/or analyzing the support.
• Any missing item must be labeled as “MISSING”; this will become important when you are completing the second part of the outline template.
• Any sentences that contain more than one idea may need to be broken up into their own sentences to eliminate confusion.

When you finish the “Current” section of the template, revise your essay. Use the first part of the outline template to guide you into what needs to be filled in, what needs to be reorganized, and what needs to be completely revised. Your final revision of the essay will need to ensure that nothing in the essay is missing.

PART II:

When you complete the revision, the second part of the Outline Template will be your double-check to make sure you have filled in any missing items and that your organization is sound and unified.

As you did with the “Current” version of the outline, copy and paste from the revised draft into the “Revised” section of the outline template. Again, it is expandable and should follow the reminders listed above for the first part; however, this time, anything missing needs to be filled in to ensure the essay is complete.

MAIN PART——

Students will choose which of the first two essays they want to revise and submit for a grade. Whichever draft you choose must then be expanded from the original assignment by adding additional sources if needed. The final draft of this essay must be a minimum of 6 pages (1500-1800 words–meaning at least six pages plus an additional page for the Works Cited).

Once you have completed the revision, please do the before completing the workshop and again, after you have revised from the workshop and prior to turning in the final draft.

The Works Cited page is part of the grade so will be factored into the essay grade when I read them. It must meet the requirements of the respective essay assignment. Make sure it follows all of the MLA guidelines in the EasyWriter. Email me your questions and difficulties with the essay for help, and make sure your workshop and WRC tutoring target those areas that you specifically need helpmake sure too that you have addressed all of the issues I marked in your first submission of the assignment.
