Editing Practice of scholarship (Spring 2016) (section)

=== Week 8: May 24 — Revise, revise, revise ===
'''Reading:'''
* Becker, Chapter 3 ("One Right Way") and Chapter 4 ("Editing by Ear").
* Strunk & White. Chapter 2 ("Elementary Principles of Composition") and Chapter 5 ("An Approach to Style").

'''Assignment:'''
* Revision assignment: Using Becker and Strunk & White as inspirations, please prepare to line-edit the rough draft texts that Aaron circulates via email/canvas (one by [https://canvas.northwestern.edu/courses/36533/discussion_topics/246614 Silvia] and one by [https://canvas.northwestern.edu/courses/36533/discussion_topics/246615 Aaron]). Read them, maybe bring a hard copy with you if you like to edit that way. In class, we will focus on improving the tone, style, and organization of the texts.
* Work on accomplishing your goals for your final project for this week (''no written assignment to submit or provide feedback on''). Note that you will be asked to provide an update on your progress to your discussant from the May 17 class.
