This assignment contains two parts:
1) Revision — 10%
Revise and expand on the original of either your Summary Assignment, your Pathos Assignment, or your Ethos Assignment, resubmitting your new draft as the Revision Assignment.
You should make numerous alterations (at least 5, but substantially more if your initial submission requires it) to areas that could use adjustment based on your previous feedback on the assignment as well as your own independent revision, following the conventions of revision introduced in Module 11.
These revisions could include: adding reporting verbs, strengthening your paraphrases and integration of quotations, creating stronger transitions between points, expanding upon claims, articulating more specific and less evident thesis statements, refocusing on analysis rather than summary in your analysis assignment, staying objective rather than making editorial remarks in your summary assignment, improving your APA citation format, and fixing problems with sentence structure, spelling, and mechanics.
Indicate the alterations you’ve made by one of the following means: marking them in a different colour or in bold, using track changes, or creating a comment or endnote.
Expand on certain areas based on the feedback you received, as well as your own rereading of the assignment, and anything new you’ve learned in the course since submitting it.
You will be given a grade out of 10% for the quality and substance of your revisions, as well as the overall quality of your new draft.
Be sure to submit the revised assignment in the new assignment’s slot on Blackboard. Do not replace the original submission.
2) Summary of revisions — 5%
Following the reference list of your revised assignment, write a one paragraph summary of your revisions. In a short response of 4-6 sentences, describing the changes you made in the first part of the assignment and explaining the reasoning behind them. Moving section by section through your revised text and stopping to comment on any substantial revisions you made (or patterns of revision like APA and grammar fixes), explain how you have responded both to my original feedback and your own re-reading of your assignment to build upon your original work in this new version of the assignment.
Remember that summaries are selective: you want to focus on the highlights rather than simply listing each minor change of, for example, a spelling error or a missed APA citation.
