- Outlining the essay's main points, from thesis to topic sentences, from the current draft written.
- Use a basic outline template to record the sentence in each paragraph that fits the purpose:
- Thesis:
- BP TS 1:
- BP TS 2:
- BP TS 3:
- Conclusion TS:
- Use this reverse outline to check each paragraph's:
- Quality of the point made: language, depth of thought
- Paragraph unity (one paragraph=one idea)
- Consistency of language choices within the paragraph
- nouns to pronouns
- not shifting POV (consistent pronouns)
- Meeting the essay assignment's purpose and other requirements
***Do these on your own, and/or have a peer do one on your essay and give it to you to see how others are seeing your idea
