Thesis Revision
Stuck?  Go back and revise for the following:
  1. Add evidence, do additional research as needed
  2. Re-orgainze to improve logical flow and argumentation
  3. If you're brain dead, do something simple and rote like MLA formatting
  4. Complete your MLA Bibliography (remember to alphabetize and format with indents correctly!)
  5. Check all of your MLA in-text citations for punctuation and formatting
  6. Revise all your transitions to make them more fluid and connective
  7. Check to make sure that all of your sections and sub-sections are clearly connected back to your thesis and research question
  8. Check to make sure that each quote is set up correctly, and has at least one follow-up sentence explaining the quote
  9. Revise for Sentence Focus/Active Voice. 
  10. Read your paper OUT LOUD to catch proofreading errors...then fix them!

HOMEWORK:
  1. Work on revising your Senior Thesis!  FINAL DRAFT is due Monday, February 27 at the START OF CLASS.  It should be shared with me and your Senior Project Advisor, and I want one PRINTED copy in my inbox at this time as well.
