Does it say what I want it to say? Do my sentences and ideas make sense? Flow? 4. Have I completely answered all the questions asked in the prompt? Refer back to prompt to check. 5. Have I included details, explanation, and elaboration of my ideas?

Last 5 steps of revision 6. Do I have a closing sentence(s)? Does it close and tie up the piece? 7. Do my sentences show rather than tell? 8. Do I have a varied word choice? 9.
