REVISIONS: YOU MUST RETURN THIS SHEET WITH REVISED WORK! DON'T LOSE IT! FOR MOST REVISIONS you can simply type the changes in the file in CAPITAL letters (so I can quickly tell which words are the changes). FOR OTHER LONGER CHANGES, like lists of behaviors or new paragraphs, just add them to the end of the paper. Add a label like "REVISED INTRODUCTION," etc., for easy identification.
