Discussion: Implementing A Revision Strategy

You've come a long way, but there's still some work to be done! Revision is an important step of the writing process, so let's take some time to discuss revision strategies and how we can use them at this stage in the writing process.

Before you begin, please review the discussion rubric below to make sure you fulfill all of the required tasks.

Let's look over the current draft of your paper, and then, answer the following questions:

First, looking over each section of the draft, in what area do you feel you did particularly well? What made it so strong, and how will you use these strengths in other sections of the draft that may need additional work?
Second, which sections of your draft do you feel need further improvement? Why do you feel these sections need to be revised? Which peer or instructor feedback will you use during the revision process?
When you're finished, post your initial response to the discussion boards. When responding to two peers, discuss their insights and offer additional tips and support, pulling from the readings and your own experiences as guidance. Remember, as with the peer workshop in Week 4, it's important to be thorough and honest here.

Your response posts should be at least one fully developed paragraph (5-8 sentences) in length.

As with the first discussion, be sure to check back on this forum throughout the week to see what others have posted to your thread, and respond to questions and comments in an engaging manner. These posts will vary in length.

Argument

In this paper we argue that Electoral College should be abolished in the United States. The Electoral College is not suited for the 21st century. While the Electoral college was established to balance power between the congress and the states, ensure large states do not dominate small ones and ensure checks in the constitutional system, it has recently been ineffective in doing so.

Key points

The Electoral College should be abolished for the following reasons

1. The reasons as to why the Electoral College was established are no longer relevant.

2. It gives more power to some states and allows few of them to decide the presidential election

3. It ignores the will of the people. It does not account for the principle of the majority have their say.

Audience

The audience for this essay will be legislators, state administrators and the general public. The challenge that is likely to be experienced is convincing the audience that there are more limitations associated with Electoral College.

Goal

The main aim of this essay is to convince people to support the abolishment of the Electoral College in the United States. The essay will require support from different resources for it to be successful.
