Revision-moves anchor (Grade-4 spring research-mode expansion): 1. STRONGER WORD CHOICE (Tier-2 Set 10 substitution — 'I think' → 'I argue based on evidence'; 'big problem' → 'urgent issue'); 2. ADD SO-WHAT (after every evidence, add 1 sentence explaining why this matters); 3. CHECK SOURCE CITATION (every fact has a signal phrase); 4. CHECK PARAPHRASE-vs-QUOTE (mark each — at least one of each); 5. PRECISE WORD CHOICE (use synonym gradient — pick the exact word); 6. ADD A FIGURATIVE-LANGUAGE MOVE (simile, metaphor, personification, idiom, adage, or proverb where it fits); 7. CHECK REGISTER (consistent formal throughout); 8. CHECK PUNCTUATION FOR EFFECT; 9. ADD CATEGORY-LINK TRANSITION AT PARAGRAPH OPENING; 10. CHECK WORKS-CITED LIST (≥3 entries, alphabetized, format consistent). Print-ready 11x17.
