But my first assignment
was good enough!
• Many of you are wondering why you are being
asked to revisit an earlier paper; especially
since you already “did your best.”
• The goal of this exercise is to revise and
expand a previously written report. You are
encouraged to use of the new stylistic
techniques you have learned and to advance
your use of verbs, adjectives, adverbs, et al.
• Inspiration: Pretend you are going to submit
your revised report to a national essay
competition. Do your best, wait a day, then do
even more of your best… make this a
masterpiece!
