Please take a look at the two web pages:

*http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/jeffdec.html

*http://www.flickr.com/photos/61139623@N00/4456618289/

The first is a link to a site you've already seen on the Declaration. Read specifically on the process of revision while writing the Declaration. What surprises you? What did you learn?

Then look at the second site, a photo of Obama's revisions to one of his speeches. What surprises you here? Why do you think the White House decided to release that photo to the public? What is its message?

Please jot down a few answers to the above questions.
Also, please write how you revise. What are the steps you take to refine your papers? What steps would you like to take? In other words, what do you imagine you could do to improve your writing (in terms of revision)?

Please have this written by Friday's class.
