Lesson 14
Revision and Re-Visioning
Introduction: Connecting Your Learning
When you have expended so much time and effort on composition, you tend to fall in love with your
words. Consequently, one of the hardest things to do as a writer is to decide when certain passages,
paragraphs, or (gulp!) even entire essays are inadequate and toss them away.
Revision, as stated before, is not to be confused with editing and proofreading. It is much bigger. It
involves changes that pertain not just to parts but the essay as a whole. It requires dedication on your part
and a stubborn, self-motivated insistence on quality.
Re-Visioning takes the next step by putting your essay to use within a larger context. How far can you
take your ideas? How can you attract a larger audience, or change your ideas to suit a new context? Re-
visioning builds creativity fluency, one of the
twenty-first-century literacy skills that will be important as
you continue with your college career.

Instruction
Revision: The Lost Art
You may realize that revising and editing are important parts of the writing process, but did you know
that like any art good revision takes practice? Just as an artist needs to engage with his or her work, all
writers need to evaluate their words with fresh eyes.
Many people find revising and editing very challenging tasks. The original version seemed so strong,
even perfect. You work hard on your writing, you invest in your work emotionally, and you may find
accepting shortcomings in that hard work very upsetting. It can be helpful to know that this is a common
feeling. However, no one, no matter how famous or how fabulous a writer, can skip the proofreading and
editing step and publish his or her personal best. Writing is a process and by going through repeated
evaluation and improvement, your work becomes stronger.
It is important to note that revision is different than editing or proofreading. Proofreading and editing
focus on the basics. You can, and should, be using your computer resources including spell checkers and
grammar checkers. However, you cannot rely upon those resources because they are not 100% accurate.
You can also use the Find feature to help quickly locate errors you know you consistently make. For
example, if you know that you often mistype
form
when you mean
from
, the spell checker will not catch
this. You can use the Find tool to locate each instance of form and read the exact sentence to determine
which word you meant to use there.
