Peer Critiques!  Do them if you scheduled them today

Thesis Revision
Stuck?  Go back and revise for the following:
  1. If you're brain dead, do something simple and rote like MLA formatting
  2. Complete your MLA Bibliography
  3. Check all of your MLA in-text citations
  4. Revise all your transitions to make them more fluid and connective
  5. Check to make sure that all of your sections and sub-sections are clearly connected back to your thesis and research question
  6. Check to make sure that each quote is set up correctly, and has at least one follow-up sentence explaining the quote
  7. Read your paper OUT LOUD to catch proofreading errors...then fix them!

HOMEWORK:
  1. Work on revising your Senior Thesis!  FINAL DRAFT is due Monday, February 27 at the START OF CLASS.  It should be shared with me and your Senior Project Advisor, and I want one PRINTED copy in my inbox at this time as well.
