  1. What is Revision • Re-Vision-looking at something already seen, but from a new perspective. • Ex: When Hollywood likes to remake a film, the intention is to see it from a new pair of eyes potentially making it better • Re-Vision is looking at what we’ve put on paper, but trying to make it better.

  2. Breaking Down Revision • A. Content Do we understand what each paragraph is trying to do? Does each paragraph build off of the thesis statement? Part of revision is re-evaluating the content of our papers; what is and isn’t necessary? • B. Structure Is your paper easy to follow? During the revision process, it’s important that our papers are structurally sound; the arguments in your body paragraphs build off of your thesis statement, but the paper has to be coherent and easy to follow

  3. Examples of Content & Structure • Thesis Statement: Obesity is the leading health issue in the United States. • 1st Paragraph Sentence Error: Obesity is defined as being immensely overweight. • Note: We are not trying to define obesity; we are only trying to prove why it’s major health issue. • 1st Paragraph Sentence Correction: People do not pay attention to what they are eating. • Note: This revised idea works, because it’s an argument branched off of the thesis statement.

  4. C. Grammar/Punctuation • After solidifying our arguments, it’s important we go back and fix our grammatical errors. • Ways to Self-Edit: • Say your sentences out loud—great trick for wordiness. • Break Grammar Down into Categories: Commas, Spelling Errors, Passive Voice, etc. • DO NOT RELY ON SPELL CHECK!!!!!!!!
