◦Intro Examples (shared with you)

◦Works Cited page reminder (only one entry –the book)

◦Conferring –if you need to confer with me and already have, we can. If you haven’t met with me about summary vs analysis, you MUST

◦Self-edit

◦Peer-edit with someone you trust

◦Use the rubric to see if you have all of the necessary information

◦Revising Ideas:

–Print out your draft, read the last sentence first, then the second to last, and so on.  This allows you to focus on the structure of the sentence rather than the content of information.

–Share your document with a peer you trust, have them comment on it.

–Write your thesis next to each chunk of analysis, helping you make sure that the analysis is directly related to your thesis.
