Q For this last essay, we will be writing ourselves a letter about what we will revise in our Essay 3. We've learned many ways to revise this semester like adding or deleting claims, adding or moving evidence, further discussing what quotes mean and connecting the quotes more cohesively to our thesis. Read through all of the pages in this module for new ways to revise: Removing the Use of "You," Paragraph Structure and Organizing Ideas in Drafts. You may also need to rework problems in your Works Cited page and/or make changes to your in text citations. ESSAY EVALUATION QUESTIONS FOR ESSAY 3 1. Does the thesis clearly argue one side of the education related issue? Does the thesis appear in the introduction of the essay?
