Revision Strategy:
In my final draft, I hope to use my sources more effectively and incorporate their arguments seamlessly with mine. In order to do this, I need to revisit the sources and reannotate them with a mindset of looking for ideas that work with my insight on beauty and running. Once I reread them multiple times, I will pull out more quotes then I can use so that I have a large pool to choose from. Next, I will find places in my essay that will be enhanced by references from the different articles. Then, I will rewrite different areas of the essay to incorporate the quotes. Lastly, I will reread the entire essay and revise and edit it for things such as organization, grammar, flow, and more. I think my biggest challenge will be for my essay not to become too long or too wordy. In order to make this not happen, after rewriting certain parts, I will read them outloud and make sure they sound good and if not, I will edit them to have a better flow. I plan on using different chapters from the “Little Seagull” book and the “They Say, I Say” book if I have any question. I will also make sure to site everything correctly using these books and the Purdue Owl. Overall, I hope to answer the prompt more fully using my own ideas and the ideas from my sources while having affecting flow and organization in my essay.
