Proofreading is the final step in the writing. It is in


this process that the writer double-checks or edits
his work for mistakes in grammar, spelling, and
punctuation.

II. ACQUISITION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE

Revising on the other hand, as we have discussed


in Module 6 of our previous lesson in Creative
Nonfiction, allows the writer to look critically at his
writing to find errors and to make improvements.
The writer should put his paragraph aside for a
while and examine it and revise it when he can
view it with some objectivity.

CHECKLIST FOR REVISING A STANDARD
PARAGRAPH
1. Does the topic sentence accurately state the main idea developed in
the paragraph or is it too general or too narrow?
2. Does the topic sentence suggest your purpose and suit your
intended audience?
3. Does the support contain enough examples, details, facts, reasons,
and/or incidents to develop the topic sentence?
II. ACQUISITION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE

4. Can you find any weaknesses among supporting


ideas: vague statements, generalizations, or
weak opinions?
5. Can you eliminate any extraneous or
unimportant information?
6. Does the supporting information follow the most
logical order consistently throughout?
II. ACQUISITION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE
7. Have you achieved coherence by using transitions,
coordinating and subordinating words, repetitions of
main words, synonyms, and consistent pronouns to
connect ideas?
8. Could you improve any confusing or awkward places by
adding any of the linking devices, parallelism, or a
bridge idea?
9. Does the paragraph need a concluding sentence?
II. ACQUISITION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE

10. Do your sentences vary in lengths, openers, and


structures?

your ideas?
