	Reflect: Reflect on the purpose of your essay. Think about changes that you might incorporate into your personal essay in order to better support your topic and purpose.
	Write: Revise your personal essay based on the “Revision Checklist.” Complete the “Revision Checklist” and upload it to your discussion board thread. Add a paragraph where you state: The part of your essay you decided to revise. How you revised it. What techniques or methods from the Required Resources in this course you used to revise your essay (including Chapter 9 tips and techniques). Please view the video Downloading a Document for guidance on accessing the “Introduction and Outline Worksheet.”
	Respond to Peers: Respond to at least two of your classmates. Respond to one classmate who used a different revision technique than you did and one who used a similar revision technique.
