Revision is a central tenet of this course and a crucial component of good critical thinking. Sometimes reading a new text alters our understanding of a previous one and sometimes simply thinking further through an argument brings us to a new understanding of our own position. For this essay assignment, you will revise one of your previous essays by extending it or otherwise reimagining it. Revisit a previous essay from this class and extend or reimagine it in a way that builds on your previous thinking and substantially revises it. You can change or revise your approach by:
incorporating a new text/source that affects your argument in a significant way (explore additional reading in Emerging or related source)
revising your position or argument based on new evidence or changed thinking (explore outside sources)
revising your essay to address a new/different audience or purpose (example: editorial, PSA, etc.)
Your Re-Vision Essay must represent a substantial revision from your previous essay. It should incorporate 1-2 new sources and/or significantly change its audience and purpose in order to provide you with an opportunity to extend and evolve your thinking and argument.
