AMERICAN BAPTIST COLLEGE
Thesis Research and Writing II
Outline Revised
I. Opening Comments
All who have taught school, or all who have attended, have said or heard the following in regard to writing assignments: "First Draft" does not equal final copy! Needless to say, bleary eyed educators have poured over countless "first drafts" turned in by similarly bleary eyed students who waited to the last minute to flesh out an assignement. These blood-shot brainiacs could have saved themselves so much grief, and received so much higher a grade had they taken but just a little more time to iron out their writing kinks.
II. Instructions
At this point in the class, students have a keen idea of what they are going to present (topic) and a basic framework of the presentation (rough draft of their outline). Still, striving for excellence demands a futher look at the outline pieced together in earlier sessions, not accepting what could be a good inner construction, but rather demand of themselves the highest quality.
III. Assignment
A. Some poeple write outlines using complete sentences, rather than phrases or single words. This website: http://www.assumption.edu/users/lang/Eng375Sent.html is an excellent, but short, look at how to employ this style to help move writing out of a rut!
B. Some find the revision process daunting--even painful. The follwing webiste seeeks to take away the boogie men from revising. http://www.beyondutopia.net/writing-survival-guide/revision/
C. Look here: http://www.esc.edu/esconline/across_esc/writerscomplex.nsf/3cc42a422514347a8525671d0049f395/00f2b8c21a4c762e852569c3006a3fe9?OpenDocument This site will give some clarity to the meaning of revision.
D. Read through these three sites and apply what is taught to the process of revising the student's outline.
E. Write one paragraph each on the three sites in the comments section of this post.
