Objective: There are several reasons for re-writing an essay. It allows you to consider what you wrote previously, and to modify or add to it. This process requires a self reflective way of thinking. You evaluate what you wrote and you consider the following:
- how can I improve the essay
- what are the paragraphs that I could strengthen in argument
- how could more research improve the overall argument and the point that you want to make
- order of contents
- links between paragraphs
- revise my opinions
- write more clearly and concise (reading flow)
- improve the choice of words used
- delete sentences that repeat the same point
- reformat various reasons, example that you know of
- state your interest in the topic more now and in the future
