1. Revision, Citation and Editing
Unit 3 Workshop
Hand out Unit 3 Peer Review Sheet, take 20 minutes to complete the review.

2. Donald Murray Excerpt
Excerpt from Chapter 1 “Write To Rewrite” in his book The Craft of Revision
The importance of revision in the writing process
In The Manual, directly following page 40 in Unit 3 section
Read the piece allow, having students read a paragraph at a time after this slide.

3. Why Does Revision Matter?
Acknowledging that writing is a process
It reveals things to us about ourselves/our lives, our worldview
It evolves, just like us
Revision is a key component to good writing
Re-seeing, re-thinking, re-saying
Which leads to discovering new things about ourselves, the world
NOT editing, which is also important
Fact-checking
Spell-checking
Grammar/punctuation
Editing ensures the clarity of the message, revision changes the content of the message.
Revision is the key: Writing about things we don’t fully understand or see as useful/important (like advertising techniques, perhaps!) can actually reveal to the writer WHY these things are significant, or something about ourselves in relation to the written topic or the world.

4. As You Revise…
Think about the skill you identify in your thesis. Do you demonstrate the growth you write about within this paper?
Have you reflected on what contributed to your growth in this skill specifically?
Practice, peer-review, instructor feedback, in-class assignments, homework, etc…

5. Citing Yourself
In MLA formatting cite your own papers using the following format: Last Name, First Name. “Title of Paper.” Assignment. Course, Date. Print. Example: Student, Ima. “Marketing Techniques of Facebook.” Literature Review. ENGL 103, 09 Nov. 12. Print.

6. In-Text Citations
No author/page number (unless you are using a reading from the course in addition to sources from your own writing)
The abbreviated title of the work you are citing goes in quotation marks within the parentheses…
(“Literature Review: Wrangler”)
(“Schlosser Reading Response”)

7. Remember to Edit Editing is important, too! So…
Read your paper aloud. Have a friend read through it.
Focus on one thing at a time.
Do NOT rely on spell-check. It does not catch everything:
“the formal CEO of Time”
“The costumers bought three items.”
“It was there cat.”
Formal = Former
Costumers = Customers
There = Their
