  1. Why Revise? Revision Process in Writing

  2. Facts about Revision • For the novice writer, revision appears to be synonymous with editing or proofreading. • Students should discuss positive rather than negative aspects of their writings when revising. • The computer can offer real facilitation of revision "to writers who know how to compose on one." • The whole essay should be more important than its parts.

  3. Questions to Ask Yourself • What is my purpose? • Do all of my paragraphs work towards fulfilling that purpose? • Are all my ideas (body paragraphs)adequately developed/proven? • Do my paragraphs build from weakest to strongest? • Does my introduction grab attention and give an overview of my topic? • Does my conclusion do more than simply “re-state” the thesis? Do I make global connections and prove why my topic is important?

  4. Things to put off till Later: • Is this word better than that word? • Do I need a comma here? • Is this spelled right? • How many sentences should I have here? • Does this sentence sound awkward? • Have I taken out all my “you” and “I” ?
