Revision and Editing
Taking the Next Steps in Your Paper
Differences Between Revision and Editing
Revision- (re)examines the writing as a whole to see what can make it stronger. You look at the writing with a new focus or perspective. Consequently, you make larger changes as you revise.
Editing- You are looking for typos, such as a duplicate word or a misspelling. When writers edit, they must go line by line to find these errors.
Four Key Areas to revise for include:
Unity
Support
Coherence
Sentence Skill
Unity
Examine the topic sentences to see if they state the main idea of the paragraph. The reader should know the paragraph’s main point after having read the topic sentence.
For a paragraph to be unified, all details should support that single point stated in the topic sentence.
Support
All details in the paragraphs should support the main idea/topic sentence.
The support or evidence should also be developed enough to convey the main idea.
The evidence should be specific and enough.
Coherence
You will examine how well the paragraph is organized. It should be in a clear, logical order.
Moreover, see where transitions and connecting words are used. You then need to see where they need to be added to link your thoughts.
Transitions to Help with Coherency:
| Addition |
Time |
Compare |
Contrast |
Illustration or Examples |
| Another |
Before |
Similarly |
However |
For instance |
| Additionally |
After/Afterwards |
Likewise |
Yet |
For example |
| Moreover |
During |
In like manner |
In contrast |
Specifically |
| Furthermore |
Meanwhile |
|
Conversely |
Such as |
| Also |
While |
|
Nevertheless |
To illustrate |
| And |
As |
|
Nonetheless |
|
| |
Next |
|
But |
|
Transitions serve as a bridge to connect ideas between paragraphs and sentences. They allow the reader to see your thought process and how your ideas connect so they do not have to read between the lines. As a result, consider the relationship between your ideas.
Sentence Skills
Major errors should be corrected during revision.
These major errors include but are not limited to:
Fragments
Run-ons
Subject-Verb Agreement
Use of slang
As you learn and practice these key sentence skills throughout the term, your revisions will become stronger.
