Revise your outline!

Revise!!!

Revise your outline, paying careful attention to:

1. Your thesis statement. Make sure you really communicate something original (and hopefully, interesting) about the connection you have established between your icons. Look through your body paragraphs and consider their order. Is this reflected in your thesis?

2. Body Paragraphs: Everything you write in your paragraphs should be one of the following things: A topic sentence; A piece of evidence; a statement of analysis; bonus: Transition to the next paragraph. Make sure you select a wide range of evidence, perspectives and sources!

3. Conclusion: Looks to the future, leaves us thinking, refers to the thesis but keeps us moving beyond so our experience in the real world now includes your perspective.

Make sure your writing is significantly revised. To do that, post your new outline as a new entry, so the reader can easily refer between the last two entries. If you have multiple ideas, such as multiple thesis, show us! Also, skip lines between paragraphs. Label everything that is important, such as a thesis, lists of evidence, conclusion, etc.
