THIS I BELIEVE revision strategies--you need a copy of your paper
(To this point, my hope is that your paper has all the content it should have. In other words, I hope you have a belief statement and a variety of DRAPES to support that belief. Next we're going to work on improving the writing.)
1. Ask someone to highlight words and phrases that have good voice. Then ask yourself if you need to work on word choice and personal voice.
2. In the margins of your paper, annotate DRAPES to see if you have a good variety. Also, your essay should NOT be completely based on personal experience. Find other examples of your belief so that your essay will appeal to more people.
3. SENTENCE RHYTHM
a) Read this sample paragraph about Korea and then count the number of words in each sentence. This paragraph is well written and has sentences of varying lengths.
b) Now count the number of words in each of your sentences (in your TIB essay). You should vary your sentence lengths--in other words, write some long sentences, some short, and some medium-length sentences.
c) Write some compound sentences and compound-complex sentences. Listen to this Grammar Girl link and complete this assignment.
