Editing and Revising NeSA-W

Why is it important to edit/revise?  Think  Pair  Share

Would you play an untuned instrument for an audience?

Editing vs. Revising  Both serve to help the reader read along more smoothly  Both improve the quality of writing

Editing  Changing letters to CAPITAL or lowercase (especially the word “I” and the first letter of a sentence)  Correcting misspelled words  Adding, deleting, or changing punctuation , ? !.  Indenting paragraphs

Revising  Adding, changing, or deleting parts of the piece to help the writing flow  Turning worn out words into vivid words (cold to HOT)  Coming up with an interesting lead that hooks the reader and a conclusion that sums things up  Adding specific details, descriptions, and explanations  Organizing ideas in an order that makes sense

Revision Strategies  Look for  Unity  Does everything refer back to main point?  Does each topic sentence refer to the thesis?  Does each sentence in each body paragraph refer back to the topic sentence?  Detail and support  Does each body paragraph contain at least two examples?  Is each example followed by at least one supporting detail?  Coherence  Are all points connect to form a whole?  Are transitions used to move from one idea to the next?



Practice  Turn to page 49 in your NeSA-W books.  Use this check-list to edit and revise the essay on page 50  Do not check anything off the list until you are certain you have corrected all errors for that item on the list.

Practice  Use your editing and revising strategies to improve your NYC descriptive paragraph.
