Revision Paper

For your final paper assignment, please substantially revise either essay #1 or essay #3.

You may not revise your in class essay.

Your revision should include at least 2 pages of entirely new material. This can come throughout the essay and add up to 2 pages total, or it can come in one chunk somewhere, as long as the paper remains clearly organized overall.

You may want to expand or revise your thesis to include a new element (that still relates to the prior elements) in order to make room for this new material in your essay.

You may want to include more textual examples with strong analysis for your expansion.

Make sure you incorporate any suggestions I made to you when I graded your assignment. For example, if I asked you to clarify your thesis, clarify your thesis. If I said you needed more analysis, provide more analysis.

Lastly, you need to incorporate at least one new outside critical scholarly source into the essay, and at least two quotations from your class notes for the semester. Please cite the class notes appropriately, using MLA formatting. Here are guidelines for how to cite class lectures:
