Revision and Edit Day

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.

You will need to add a properly formatted Works Cited page to your essay. Here is the exact MLA formation for your Works Cited page.

Type the words      Works Cited     in the center of the top line of the last page of your essay.

Double space once and go to the left side alignment to begin your entry. It should look just like this:

Works Cited

ebooks/6818.

 

Your final essay will be turned in through Turnitin.
