The section we had to read for tonight was about finishing up an argumentative paper, concluding and revising it. When you conclude your argumentative paper, you need to make sure that all the sources, opinions and examples you used strengthened and backed up your thesis statement. You need to make sure that everything you included positively helps the argument your trying to make.
As for revising, you need to make sure there are no grammatical errors and read your paper aloud to yourself to make sure that there are no flaws or holes in your logic and sentences. As in a song, you should hear when there is an error in your work. Another thing to check for when your revising would be things like run-on sentences or any other type of "fluff." The sentences, ideas or phrases just take up space and do no good in helping out in the strengthening of your argument. These tips should definately help us greatly in writing our own argumentative papers.

I agree with what you have to say about revising. Your blog is pretty similar to mine. Revising is very iomportant for checking grammatical errors or incomplete sentences. It is good to read aloud because like you said, it helps you find flaws in your writing. Run-on sentences are easy to do, so revising helps you catch them.
