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 is he or she 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? In the space below, make some brief notes for yourself about how to revise.
