The grader said, the grader meant
Use concrete language and specific details
Your words?
Vague
Not an academic voice
Integrate quotation
Mark all quotes clearly and cite summaries and paraphrases
Look for overly informal words and phrasing
Introduce every quotation with information about the sourceSlide8
Tips I use to revise:
Read it out loud to myself.
It’s weird, but do it when you’re home alone.
I read it backwards.
Read the conclusion first and work up the draft to see if it makes just as much sense.
I cut it up, literally.
Print it out and cut the individual paragraphs out and rearrange them.
Reverse outline. Segue. Slide9
