Hey Teresa,

Just now looking over the site and was thrilled to find Nancy Sommers there.  Other oldtimers may remember when she was at OU, not Harvard, and visited the Writing Project to “try out” her “new” ideas on revision.  I still have an ancient handout and notes and still use her grid to force revision on my advanced students.  Go figure.

Anyone unfamiliar with her work, might enjoy hunting down her article --

Sommers, Nancy. “Revision Strategies of Student Writers and Experienced Adult Writers.” College Composition and Communication 31 (1980): 378–88.

Later,
Sandra Effingee
