Chapter Two of "Is It Done Yet?"

Describing the steps of revision like an ice cream cone was a great visualizer for the subject, and the steps Gilmore outlines are definitely the most crucial points of revising a paper. Even to this day it's almost second nature to want to proofread and do all the superficial changes first, just because they are the easiest.

I like the idea of students helping develop the topics, and I think it's very important for them to be able to write a thesis clearly, and with a purpose. Many papers don't work out because they lack purpose, and they lack passion. Without these two things, many students can't write a essay that would truly be enjoyed by the teacher, or the student themselves.
