Homework/BA9 Procedures:
Homework/BA9 Procedures:
Objective: To demonstrate your ability to revise paragraphs at the sentence level
Purpose: When you revise papers, you begin by reexamining content and organization of the paper overall before moving to more specific concerns such as the thesis, introduction, and conclusion. Usually, one of the final steps involves revising the body paragraphs to ensure that they reflect your intended purpose and reach your intended audience. This final brief assignment will help you accomplish that.
Description: For this assignment, use the guidelines from Chapter 42 in the e-handbook to revise a substantial body paragraph (i.e. at least 4 sentences in length) from your Draft 1.1. Use the section “Editing for emphasis and conciseness” to guide your revision. Paste the original paragraph from your 1.1 draft into the assignment so that your instructor will be able to compare the original with your revision.
Finally, write a short summary and evaluation of your revisions. Identify and explain which new strategy you used from the textbook and explain how changing the strategies used in this paragraph will influence your readers’ response to your analysis. Also let readers know here which paragraph, your original or the revision, is the strongest and why you believe that to be so.
