Project Homework

The final exam is comprised of a three-part project. The parts of this project are outlined below in detail. Please read the instructions thoroughly. All three parts of the exam should be submitted no later than Wednesday, July 12th at noon. There can be no extensions. The three parts of the final should be separate word documents.

You will use your Project 3 essay to complete the final exam project.

Part I: Revision Plan

The Revision Plan must be typed using the template below (you do not need to make your own) and include sections naming three proposed areas of global, local, and surface revision. When determining each area in need of revision, students should take instructor feedback on their original submissions into account; however, they must also demonstrate an understanding that meaningful revision requires more than treating instructor comments as a checklist. Each of the three proposed areas of revision must provide the following 3 components, which do not need to be complete sentences:

1. Critical Thought/Context: This component must offer a description of the content area in need of either global or local revision. Your description must demonstrate a clear understanding of your previous submission's shortcomings AND the ways in which those shortcomings influenced your development of the original essay.

2. Revision Category: This component must name AND justify the specific kind of revision required in the content area and demonstrate your understanding of the three "kinds of revision" described on page 112 of the required reading.

3. Action Plan: This component must describe your intended process to successfully revise the content area; it must include a multi-step plan of action that attends to more than surface-level needs and includes your purpose.

Note: Revision plans that do not demonstrate critical thought and substantive detail as described above will not receive a good grade, so please really think about your goals for the revision.

You can view a sample revision plan below.

Part II: Revised Essay

The Revised Essay only needs to show evidence of the revisions mentioned in the Revision Plan to receive credit. Make sure your revisions are highlighted in yellow or inserted as track changes or marginal comments. This document will look similar to your Project 3 final draft, but it will merely have the three specific revision areas you outlined in your revision plan highlighted.

Part III: Revision Reflection

1. Prompts for Reflection: You may choose one to answer over the course of two paragraph, or answer both in back-to-back paragraphs:

a. Description of what influenced your plan and process (ex: instructor feedback, peer review, new knowledge) and how you feel your revision impacts the meaning or overall intended effects of your project/paper.

b. Description of your experience with the revision process and how you now feel about your work and confidence as a writer overall throughout the course. Use specific examples and language from our class.

2. Constraints: Two paragraphs, works cited using require reading ("Revision" by Behrens et al) as source. Can be written in first person as it is a personal reflection.
