Hi Brittney,
Thank you for writing the first draft of your Writing Plan for the critical analysis essay! I enjoyed seeing the additional thought and consideration you've put into this project since your initial Writing Notes in Week 1, and I'm looking forward to seeing the blueprint you've laid out here realized in the first draft of that analytical essay next week!
Before then, you’ll have the opportunity to revise this essay and submit a Final Draft of your Writing Plan at the start of Module 5. Going forward, I think the most important thing to focus your revision on are the elements that you did not include in this essay. For example, I did not see anything here about your Goal, Revision Strategy, Feedback Integration, or Evidence. In addition, be sure to include your rationale for each of your key points and format this essay using either MLA or APA Style.
To help you with your first revision, I have attached a Checklist for Global Revision. I based the handout on a great writer’s handbook, Rules for Writers, and I have adapted it to fit our Writing Plan assignment for this course. I hope it will give you helpful strategies for moving through your global, paragraph-level, and sentence-level revisions, and please let me know how else I can help you finalize your writing plan.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the feedback I've provided here. I want to help you continue developing your project so that you have a strong Critical Analysis Essay ready to submit at the end of the term!
Cheers,
Melinda
