Getting Ready to Turn in Essay 1

Posted on February 26, 2014 by Professor Sean Scanlan

Hi Class,

To prepare to turn in Essay 1 on Tuesday, Feb 25, please do the following:

Put all process work in a paper folder–with your name on it:

–Final Draft
–Previous Drafts
–Assignment Details Handout
–Peer Review
–Thesis Handout
–Student Sample
 

In order to revise and proof your work:

Revision:

–Have a friend read your work over; promise to do the same for him or her
–Make sure that you correct all “red” or “green” underlined areas
–Check for vague words or phrases

Proofing:

–Read your work carefully and slowly
–Read your work backward; what I mean is to read one sentence at a time, but begin with the final sentence
–Read out loud: this is a common proofing technique to catch mistakes

 

Best,
Prof. Scanlan
