Now that you have used the steps listed on yesterday blog to make suggestions on another student’s essay, you might want to go through the same process on your own essay. Today you will use the full class period to revise and then edit your own essay.

  1. Open a new Google doc in Google Drive.
  2. Set your formatting to Times New Roman 12 point double spaced font and 1 inch margins on all sides.
  3. Type your four line heading as corrected on your timed essay.
  4. Type your revised essay paying close attention to the peer suggestions provided.
  5. Add your Works Cited page as the final page of your essay.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
