Writing is rewriting

Lightning

In today's class, I returned overview comments (and grades) for the personal essays that were turned in February 25th.  If you choose to revise your essay for a higher grade, the deadline is Monday, March 28th.

The revision must be accompanied by a commentary that describes the changes made and changes in the revised draft should be in bold. In order to get a higher grade, the revised draft must be substantially different from the original draft.  And please: don't limit yourself to revising the things I suggested revising.
