Revising by Incorporating New Information

  1. Find a source of information or ideas for your paper not given to you by your teacher or the specific assignment, perhaps a source gleaned in another class or located in the library or on the Internet. Be sure to cite your source using the appropriate citation style for your discipline.

  2. Revise the introduction by using at least two of these strategies: image, question, narrative. An image can be a picture that shows rather than tells; a question does not replace a thesis but may explore the implications of a thesis; a narrative is the retelling of something that happened. (adapted from Georgia Heard, The Revision Toolbox)

  3. Revise the conclusion by using at least two of these strategies: surprise, summation, image, emotional statement. (adapted from Georgia Heard, The Revision Toolbox)
