eh portfolio revision essay

Throughout this course, we have written drafts in stages and revised and expanded them each step along the way. Revision is essential for most writers, and many of us do not really express what we are trying to say in enough depth until we begin revising. Your purpose, in this assignment, is to choose any one of the first two essays that you have written, and substantially revise them.

  1. Read through your graded draft and highlight all areas that you are going to revise; this will make it easier for me to see what is being revised.
  2. Substantially revise the essays, expanding their ideas, organizing them more cohesively, and developing their analyses in more depth.
  3. Critically edit each essay—correcting errors, developing the rhetorical style of sentences, correcting citations.
