Unit 6 focuses on revision as an essential part of the writing process. Please return to the writing assignment from Unit 5 and revise it, incorporating what you have learned from all of the units in the Writing Express. As you revise, you should review your instructor’s comments on your writing assignments from Units 1-5. Feel free to incorporate any of the appropriate research and sources from Units 3-5, and be sure to include your sources in the References page. Your essay should include a title page per APA format, but you do not need to include an abstract. Your revised essay should be 800-1,000 words.
