In How To Write Anything on pages 386-391 it taught a hole lot about the correct ways tor evise a paper wich I never heard of. An awsome technique I learned was to put your paper aside for a few hours or a day then revise it with new eyes. Doing that task would let you see things in your writing you never noticed before. It would help notice if the requirement is actually being met in the paper, if the paper is directed to the rite audience, and if it has a flow to it. This reading actually helped me out a lot. I'm actually going to follow the technique of comming back to the paper to revise it. This technique can be tricky though because most students don't do their paper until the day before it is due, but following the tecnique you will have your paper done ahea dof time and a good chance to make a good revision.

Reading the section about Thesis's taught me a lot i didn't already know about them. I learned adding to your thesis after learning more about your writing as you go on in your paper really builds tou a thesis. Also, it is ok to change your thesis several times before you have the perfect thesis. I had no idea you could wait until the last sentence of your last paragraph to enter your thesis. I thought it at least had to be included somewhere in your first paragraph in either the last or second to last sentence. This reading also showed me better ways to write a good,lengthy thesis. I liked how at the end of the reading there was a table of what kind of thesis or how to use a thesis when writing a certain kind of assignment.
