Analyzing a written text

Writing practice: Analyzing a written text

You must click Submit after each text box on the page to record your work in your instructor's gradebook (if your instructor has assigned this activity). After you have clicked Submit, you may review your work (but you may not revise it) by returning to this page at any time.

Share your draft with a writing center tutor or a classmate. Ask that reviewer to consider the following questions:

  • Does your draft accomplish its purpose?
  • Does the draft demonstrate that you understand the author’s main idea?
  • Have you discussed the author’s evidence?
  • Have you identified any faulty reasoning?
  • Does your analysis present your judgment of the author’s ideas (not just a summary)?

Using the feedback you receive, write three to five revision goals in the space below.
