Description
A winner of the Knight Award for Writing Exercises and Handouts, this work originates from Development Sociology 1201, Spies Like Us: Social Science, Research, and Knowledge. This in-class exercise on revision splits students into four groups that then compete to provide the best instructions to the instructor about how to revise a paragraph he or she has provided, a piece of his or her own writing. The exercise, which takes place early in the semester, provides practice in peer review and in in-depth revision; it emphasizes the necessity of revision for all writers. 8 page pdf
