Lesson 12: Revision Workshop
Even though this lesson never says it, we are to work on revising our "Letter from Birmingham Jail" essays.
You should be done with writing the 5 paragraphs at this point.
Check your gradebook and see if your Unit 3 Lesson 11 assignment has been graded.
It may be that I asked you to change a few things to strengthen your essay.
If not, do not worry!!
In this lesson, you'll be coached how to revise your own essay.
This is an important skill, since when you are taking big tests like the MME, ACT or college entrance exams, you'll be tested partially on your ability to check and change your own writing.
So, get your essay out and get ready to change it for the better!!

help your readers
Slides 3 asks you check to make sure that you've given specific examples in your body paragraphs.
Please check to see that you have at least one example in each of your body paragraphs.
Slide 4 asks you to use transition words to carry your reader's thoughts from one idea to the next.
Do you have these words to help you readers keep up with what you are saying?
For example
However
Furthermore
Although
Therefore
Transitions are probably really good to learn--slides 5 and 6 also offer some practice with using transition words.
Take some time to read and re-read your essay. Put in specific examples from "A Letter from Birmingham Jail" into your paragraphs.
Write in transition words as you move from one paragraph to another to help your readers follow you.
Save your revised essay.
