Summarize this article:

Review your written work for effectiveness and ensure that the piece meets your objective. Your goal may be to persuade, inspire, entertain, educate or inform the reader. Ask yourself, "Did I present a fresh perspective on the topic?" or "Am I doing a good job of defending my argument with facts and logic?" Be honest with yourself, and don't be afraid of rewriting the piece if necessary. High-quality writing reflects a person's own ideas, thoughts and conclusions. If 1 part of your writing is weaker than the rest of the article or essay, consider removing or rewriting it to better fit the piece. If what you have written is simply a regurgitation of existing material, examine your own thoughts, experiences, and opinions to add original ideas into the piece. If your teacher provided guidelines for how they'll be grading your writing, use it to guide your revision. Look at what you need to do to receive the highest grade. When you find that information in your paper, check it off of the rubric. If something is missing, make sure you add it into the paper. For instance, if your teacher requires that you have at least 2 quotes per paragraph, go through each paragraph and underline each quote. If there are 2 in every paragraph, you can check that component off of the rubric. Go back through your piece and write down your thesis on a separate sheet of paper. Then, write down the main focus for each paragraph and include a bullet point for each piece of supporting information. Make sure all of your claims support your thesis and are related, factual, and logical. If you can't explain how your points support each other, consider restructuring your argument. Go through the outline to make sure all of your points are supporting the topic of the paper, and remove any information that doesn't contribute to your main focus. If your professor or teacher has provided specific guidelines about how many sources or what type of sources to include, then make sure that you have met these guidelines. Review what you have written and check to see if you have included the required citations for the sources as well. For example, if the professor or teacher has requested 2 book sources, 2 scholarly articles, and 2 web sources, then make sure you have included and cited all of these sources.
Ask if your writing is achieving the purpose of the piece. Check the rubric to ensure the piece meets the criteria if it will be graded. Analyze your logic by constructing a backwards outline. Ensure that the required number and type of sources are included.
