Revision Guidelines
Revision is an important part of composing. In this class, you will be able to revise any assessed quest, adventure, journey log, or raid as long as you received at least ONE point on the composition. This does not mean that you may turn in work that you originally missed for a better assessment.
Revisions allow a player to rework a piece of writing (following the below criteria) in order to receive up to an 80%. Just because a revision is submitted does not mean the player will automatically receive the full points. If you wish to revise, please make sure you follow the below instructions.

Meaningful Revision
Revision is much more than clicking "accept" on a suggested edit or comment. Revision should be a thoughtful reworking of your ideas and words in order to improve clarity and expand on research. This can take on the form of moving around or eliminating sentences and paragraphs, adding supporting evidence through research, or expanding on new or already written ideas. Revision is part of the overall writing process which helps writers clarify their thoughts and expand their learning.
In order for players to engage in this process, I have outlined requirements for revisions in Composition as follows:
All assigned work is available for revision as long as you have received at least ONE point. All revisions are due by November 30th.
In order for players to engage in this process, I have outlined requirements for revisions in Composition as follows:
- First, make a copy of (duplicate) the document and make revisions to the copy (version control). Clearly label the revision as such.
- All changes should be highlighted in yellow (this includes additions, changes, and rearranging).
- Changes should be inspired by comments from the game master or fellow players.
- Revisions should go above and beyond the call of the quest, adventure, or raid.
- This means that you cannot just write to word count or add sources which will bring you up to the required amount.
- A short reflections (300 - 600 words) should accompany the revision which explains the revision process. The reflection should not say "the instructor told me to do it, so I did." Instead, players should explain what lead to the revisions they made and why they felt the changes needed to be made.
