Revising

• Revising is different from editing.


Editing is the changing of words and
anyone can do this for the writer.
Revising, on the other hand, is the
changing of ideas and the writer
must do this by himself/herself.
Revising Checklist

1. The writing focuses on one part of an
interesting topic.
2. The writing is clear, concise, and compelling.
3. A variety of details develops the writing.
4. Each paragraph focuses on one point.
5. The writing achieves its purpose (inform, persuade,
entertain)
Revising Checklist
• Organization
6. The beginning captures the reader’s
attention and provides the writing.
7. The middle develops the writing.
8. Details are arranged effectively 9time, location,
importance) and paragraphs appear in the best
order.
9. The ending sums up the thesis and provides a
final thought.
Revising Checklist

• Voice
10. The voice is appropriate to the
topic and purpose of the writing.
11. The voice connects to the reader.

When you revise, you make four basic
improvements:

(1) add necessary information,


(2) remove unnecessary details,
(3) reorder disorganized
material, and
(4) rework unclear ideas.
Follow these five (5) steps when
you revise:
1. Let your writing “cool off” for at least a day before you
touch it.
2. Look at your writing from a critical standpoint.
3. Read your first draft once all the way through.
4. Decide whether you want to revise this draft or start
again
5. If you revise, go step by step. Concentrate on one issue
at a time. For example, first read for organization, then for
tone or voice, and finally for mechanics like spelling, etc.
