The document provides guidance to a student on revising an essay. It instructs the student to identify key parts of the essay in the margins, including defining the problem, stating the thesis, describing the proposed solution, arguing in support of the solution, responding to objections, and evaluating alternatives. It describes having another student carefully read the essay and answer revision guide questions to provide feedback, and having the writer revise based on that feedback. It reminds the student that a self-assessment of blog posts is due, justifying their assigned grade based on the number and quality of posts and timeliness of submissions.
