B. Blog 10: Revision of CAT Practice #2

Once you get your CAT response back from me:
  1. Read my feedback. 
  2. Determine ONE, or at most TWO areas of your writing that need the most work.
  3. Plan on how you will revise your writing in the area(s) you have chosen. Your goal is to try to reach the next score level for each area your are revising. If you had a 2, figure out how to get a 3; if a 3, how to get a 4, and so on. 
  4. Begin Blog 10: Revision of CAT Practice 2. You may  have to start your response all over or add/delete ideas as you see fit. The completed blog entry is due Tuesday, November 1 at the beginning of class. This blog entry must be 400+ words.
Feel free to ask questions at any point.
