Revision Action Plan
In this activity, you will consider the feedback that you have
received on your draft from different sources, and then you will
create an action plan for revising your draft.
Step 1–Review: Review the grading rubric at the end of the
Project #2 assignment guidelines.
Step 2–Peer Feedback: Look through the feedback you have
received from your peer review. This should be posted in the
Discussion board. In the space below, make a bulleted list of the feedback points you received from
your peers. (These points do not need to be written formally – just write them in a way that helps you
remember what to do.)
- include the purpose and the main points of the body of the literature review to the introduction
- include some phrases such as honestly, in my opinion,… to show my own idea
- add some differences across the sources
- format double space and indent first line
Step 3–Instructor Feedback: Look through any feedback you received from your instructor. This may be
individual feedback or it may be whole-class feedback. In the space below, make a bulleted list of any
feedback points you received from your instructor. (Again, you do not need to write this in formal
language.)
- Arrange the information alphabetically
- using a consistent citation
- consider the genre of the report
- consider the formatting to be accessible to the audience
- focusing on the article's literature review instead of the whole article.
Step 4–Self Feedback: Look through your own self-assessment of your draft. In the space below, make a
bulleted list of your self-assessment items, again in informal language.
- complete the draft (the conclusion)
- formatting the draft to be suitable for the requirements
- show more of my stance in the literature review
Step 5–Optional AI Feedback: If you’d like, also gather feedback from an AI tool. If you do this, be sure
to give the tool sufficient context in your prompt. For example, provide the assignment guidelines and
rubric criteria, as well as the information about the course (an undergraduate writing course). Ask the
tool what you could improve, based on the rubric criteria. Ask the tool what you are doing well, based
on the rubric criteria. In the space below, make a bulleted list of the feedback points you received
from the AI tool.

- The article layout is relatively consistent but the first main idea can be changed. Instead of talking
about the current status of juvenile crime, we can directly state a reason for this
- Changed some phrases to make the article more concise
- Some grammar is still wrong and APA citation is still not accurate.
Step 6–Revision Action Plan: Now, look through all of the feedback you gathered in Steps 2 through 5.
Look for comments that are repeated in more than one source (e.g., from your peers and teacher, or
from your teacher and your self-assessment). Also, look for comments that seem especially useful and
important. You may also have received some suggestions that you disagree with. After carefully
thinking about the feedback you received, make a numbered list below of the things you would like to
revise in your paper. Be as specific as you can so that you have a clear action plan for revisions:
1. Complete the manuscript, specifically the conclusion
2. Add elements of the purpose and main points to the introduction of the article to create a more
complete and specific introduction
3. Add personal stance to paragraphs of text
4. Modify the format of the article to suit the needs and possibly change the format to suit the
fictional audience.
If you have questions about revising your paper, be sure to contact your professor.
