Read It and Weep

My students always did.

Ten Steps to a Decent Essay

1. Write

2. Read

3. Rewrite

4. Reread

5. Put away

6. Reread

7. Rewrite

8. Edit and proofread

9. Reread

10. Rewrite


These steps are not original with me. I don't know exactly where they came from, but I know they're true.
