    • 12.1.1.1: A strategy for analyzing and revising a first draft
      Here are some steps for re-reading and revising your essays in a reasonably objective way. These steps may seem formulaic and mechanical, but you need a way to diagnose your own prose so that you have some sense of how others will read it.
    • 12.1.1.2: Checklist- Revision
      The draft addresses a question or issue that readers will care about. The draft is written at the audience’s level, accounting for their level of knowledge and attitudes. The thesis is clear and placed at or near the beginning of the paper.
    • 12.1.1.3: How to- Be a Constructive Peer Reviewer
      You aren’t casting judgment on a work, you’re coaching the writer. Remember to include the writer in the process, helping them find the draft’s strengths and weaknesses rather than telling them what they are or are not doing wrong. Check with the writer to make sure you’re understanding the main ideas of the work.
