Now that you have filled in each of the textboxes above, click on the "Download Word Document" link below. When you open the Word document, you will see all of your responses from the prompts above saved and collated in the document. Save your document, and use your comments to make revisions to your essay draft—which you will submit at the end of Module 7. When making these revisions, you should ask yourself the following questions:
• Do the main ideas you've written down flow logically from one to the next?
• Are the topics organized? Do they reflect the order presented in the thesis statement?
• Were you able to fill out the PIE information for each supporting paragraph?
• Are there any gaps in information?
• Is there more information on one topic over others or vice versa?
• Do any topics or examples stand out as being out of order?
• Rearrange paragraphs and sections of your paper, as needed.
