questions. If you don’t understand the essay, tell the
writer in response to the revision guide or in the
margins.

sheet of paper or on the back of the writer’s essay.

identified in order to respond appropriately.

 Return the essay and your comments to the

 When you receive your essay, look at the
feedback. Think about how you will revise your
essay.
 Begin the revision process.

9. The blogging post points (150) require self-
assessment. Consider three aspects of your
responses: First, how many of the posts did you
make? Second, what was the quality of your
response? Third, how timely were your
submissions? Write a paragraph or two justifying
your grade. You may submit this to me via
Kaizena as soon as you finish post 23, but you
