Drafting and revising an analytical thesis for a written text

Writing practice: Drafting and revising an analytical thesis for 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.

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 in the space below about how to revise.
