Why Does Revision Matter? Acknowledging that writing is a process It reveals things to us about ourselves/our lives, our worldview It evolves, just like us Revision is a key component to good writing Re-seeing, re-thinking, re-saying Which leads to discovering new things about ourselves, the world NOT editing, which is also important Fact-checking Spell-checking Grammar/punctuation Editing ensures the clarity of the message, revision changes the content of the message. Revision is the key: Writing about things we don’t fully understand or see as useful/important (like advertising techniques, perhaps!) can actually reveal to the writer WHY these things are significant, or something about ourselves in relation to the written topic or the world.

As You Revise… Think about the skill you identify in your thesis. Do you demonstrate the growth you write about within this paper? Have you reflected on what contributed to your growth in this skill specifically? Practice, peer-review, instructor feedback, in-class assignments, homework, etc…

Citing Yourself In MLA formatting cite your own papers using the following format: Last Name, First Name. “Title of Paper.” Assignment. Course, Date. Print. Example: Student, Ima. “Marketing Techniques of Facebook.” Literature Review. ENGL 103, 09 Nov. 12. Print.

In-Text Citations No author/page number (unless you are using a reading from the course in addition to sources from your own writing) The abbreviated title of the work you are citing goes in quotation marks within the parentheses… (“Literature Review: Wrangler”) (“Schlosser Reading Response”)

Remember to Edit Editing is important, too! So… Read your paper aloud. Have a friend read through it. Focus on one thing at a time. Do NOT rely on spell-check.
