  1. Revision How Do I Revise?

  2. Definition • Revising is Rewriting • Re-vision = “to see again with fresh eyes” • Use the ECR method - ECR – Evaluate, Change, and Reevaluate • Start by reading your draft

  3. Ask yourself these questions about your draft: • What else will my audience want to know? • What details can I add? • How can I make my purpose clearer? • How can I make my writing easier to understand? • How can I improve the organization of my writing?

  4. CARM - Strategy • Cut – Get rid of whatever goes off the topic or repeats what has already been said.

  5. CARM - Strategy • Add – Insert needed words, sentences, and paragraphs

  6. CARM - Strategy • Replace – As needed, substitute new words, sentences, and paragraphs for what you have cut.

  7. CARM - Strategy • Move – Change the sequence of paragraphs if the material isn’t presented in logical order. • Move sentences within paragraphs or to other paragraphs when your paragraph arrangement does not allow the material to flow.

  8. Now You Try It! • In Fresno, California I had the best time making memories. My husband and I visited his side of the family in Fresno. We met at the best restaurant in town where, for the first time, I was able to meet his Aunt Margaret and cousin Sharron and her family. I might add that I had a delicious chicken dinner. It was the best to finally put faces to the names I had been hearing about for the past four years. Later that evening, we were able to see my husband’s Uncle Johnny who is in a nursing home. Also, at the restaurant, I was able to see for the second time his Aunt Helen who is 80 years old! I know I will never forget our time with the family – the laughs, smiles, tears. We made the best memories.
