What is Revision ?
• Revision means to “re-see” the piece of writing.
• It isn’t just proofreading your paper or correcting
grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors.
• Revision is stepping back and looking at your paper as
a whole and seeing if you are effectively saying what
you intend to say. It is giving your paper a thorough
look to see how you can make it stronger.
Understanding the Purpose of Revising and
Editing
• When you revise, you take a second look at your ideas. You
might add, cut, move, or change information in order to
make your ideas clearer, more accurate, more interesting,
or more convincing.
