Section 3: Section Diagnostic

Refine and revise your Section 1 Diagnostic to demonstrate how your understanding of a change agent expanded or changed after reading additional texts. Revise your Section 1 Diagnostic by examining and refining your ideas, organizing your ideas clearly, and developing your topic with well-chosen, relevant information. Complete your revisions using the following questions to prompt your thinking:

  1. How has my thinking changed since I first wrote my Section 1 Diagnostic?

  2. How can my thinking be reflected in my revisions?

  3. Are my organization and language skills effective for my task and audience?

  4. What additional support do I need to add in? How will I add it in?

  5. Do I need to omit anything that does not add value to my writing?

Your new draft should reflect a more sophisticated understanding of the topic based on the new information you gleaned from researching.
