 REVISING A
DRAFT
First drafts are fun to write but a challenging task.
Many writers still produce imperfect write-ups
because they lack the benefits of the fundamental
stage of the writing process: Revision. One must keep
in mind that it is in revision that a piece of writing
truly takes shape.
 REVISING A
The aspects of writing that one considers in revising
DRAFT
a written work are mechanics, clarity, chronology,
appropriateness, and effectiveness.

Revising is needed to track our writing progress and

to check whether the objectives set in writing a
certain literary piece are met and thoughts are well
communicated.

To guide you in revising your piece always
remember the word DRAFT.
 REVISING A
DRAFT
DELETE unnecessary and repeated words, parts or
sequences. Are there words or parts that are needless
or unnecessary which can be deleted and will not
affect the content or flow of the piece? If there are,
delete them.
 REVISING A
DRAFT
REARRANGE the paragraphs, sentences, clauses
or words. Are there words or sentences that need to
be rearranged to attain the chronological
arrangement of the piece? If there are, rearrange
them.
 REVISING A
DRAFT
ADD some connectors, transitional devices, or even
information. If there is still information that needs to
be included, add them. The use of connectors and
transitional devices will help to attain the smooth
flow of the piece.
These words help to introduce readers to the relationship between phrases, sentences and entire paragraphs where
applicable. Fundamentally, transition words help your readers to understand how your suggestions, thoughts and
criticisms are connected together. They’re also an especially helpful tool for preparing your reader for what’s
coming up in your text.

FORM each of the parts that are needed in the
piece. Recalling the nonfiction type, there are certain
parts that should be present. Even the elements
needed in a type of nonfiction shall be formed and
formulated.
 REVISING A
DRAFT
TALK it aloud. Reading the text aloud surely
reveals the errors in the write-up. Various versions
and modifications can be made if we keep on reading
it before publishing. Does it sound right? Sound
smooth? Better to read it aloud.
