9. GUIDED PRACTICE  Sample Reflection and Revision Plan Thank you all for your comments! I can see now, that this summary does not have a clear thesis, and reads like more of an outline than a summary, these are the things I am going to work on revising. I will start by rereading Gee and watching Tara’s video again. I think I missed Gee’s D/discourse distinction and this needs to be in my thesis. Also, I need to chunk the information in Gee so that I can focus on presenting his ideas versus giving everyone a tour of his work. This means I’ll have to rewrite a number of sentences.
