​Study 9.3.5

​Revision Strategies

​

Remember revision is going through your work and correcting or rearranging the big things..... your claim, your reasons, your evidence, your organization... etc.

​

Editing is correcting grammar glitches, typos etc.

​

Revise first........maybe 2 or 3 times...at the end do the editing.​

​Check your claim 9.3.5 pages 2 & 3

​Is your claim arguable and defensible?

Is it clear and ​specific?

​

Remember Claim = Synthesis​

A claim is the synthesis of all the reasons and evidence that a paper covers. It should be an overarching statement: the big point that everything adds up to. It often takes a few tries to get this statement right. But it's worth it — your claim is the key to your paper.​

​Quote or Paraphrase 9.3.5 page 5

​Quote:

• An especially striking, memorable quote shows the insight, authority, or style of a source's author.

• You have something to say about a source's specific word choice: the meaning of an unusual term, the way somebody phrases a piece of information, and so on.​

​Paraphrase:

• You give facts, data, and general information.

• The source is wordy or goes into detail that you don't need.

• Nothing from a quote would be lost if you paraphrased it instead of quoting it.​

​Documentation 9.3.7

​In-text citations: page 7

​

According to MLA standards, you always need to cite the author's name, which allows your reader to find the source on your works-cited page. You have two options for doing this: giving the author's name within the sentence or in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Just don't do both.

​

​But what about an electronic source that doesn't have a named author? In that case, use the title of the source in the same way you would use the author's name. Keep in mind that the title is the name of the source, not the web address or URL — Bill's Online Parrot Compendium rather than www.billsparrotsonline.com.

Remember, the point of an in-text citation is to allow your reader to find the source on your works-cited page, where you'll include complete source information, so your in-text citations should match the information you provide there.

​See page 9 for more MLA rules on in-text citations.
