October 5.

Discussions

• The Annotated bibliography is due today Oct.5
• Revision Guide was discussed.
• Examples were given during class time on ways to do it and not do it. Also she gave us ideas on how we can approach this next project, you can either use them or make your own.
• The revision guide can either be done individually or in a group of 2,3, or 4.
  

Sections for the Revision Guide:

1. Philosophy: Based on what you have read in the articles.
2. Writing process, flow chart/graphic: What the writing view of revision is, what type of writer you are. If you do a flow chart it need to be visual with a given explanation of where the technique fits in the writing process. It can be simple but consistant with what your trying to say, with a given reference.
3. Revision Strategy/Technique: can be based on the writing process. step 2.
4. Revision Strategy/Technique Justification and Rationale:

• Checklist/ that contains the sources of where you are getting your information from and adapted in some way.
  
• "Dont just give me a flippen checklist and call it a day, ok." -Dr.Phillips
• Steps with questions can be another way to do it.

• The rationale part is the thinking behind the technique. (Directions, why it works?, benefits, flaws/draw backs).

5. Additional sections(2): Think of them on your own. They can be certain things that you weren't able to mention that was based on your philosophy.

• The revision guide can be a combination of paragraphs, bulletins, lists, etc.
• Sections do not have to be in order but in a way that the reader is able to understand your guide.
• You must have attempted to apply what you have read into the Revision guide.
  
• Two things must be shown: In-text citation and use of foot notes
• CITE EVERYTHING!!!!
• Also you can use any type of style text format. (MLA, Chicago style, etc)
• Should not read as a paper(essay)
