Review the advice under the heading "Drafting an analytical thesis statement" in section 4d. Exchange a current draft with a classmate. Examine the thesis statement in your classmate’s draft. Is your classmate offering a judgment of the text that he or she is writing about? Or merely presenting a summary? Write brief notes for your classmate, offering a revision suggestion or two. Then exchange papers again. How might you revise your thesis based on your classmate’s comments? Make some brief notes for yourself below about how to revise.
