5. REVISE does not mean EDIT
What’s the difference?
Revising is when you add or subtract details that enhance the ideas you’re writing about
Edit is when you correct all of the grammar and punctuation errors

6. How do you REVISE?
First, you have to clarify the central point of your writing
Then, you have to read each paragraph and ask yourself:
“Do my sentences enhance my central topic or do they distract my reader?”
Delete any sentences that distract
Add sentences that help enhance understanding

7. How do you REVISE?
Next, you reread your paragraphs and make sure you have the following details:
A consistent first person or third person voice
Detailed descriptions of people, places, or events
Transitions at the beginning of new paragraphs
Lastly, you send your essay to Turnitin.com, so another student can Peer Edit (that’s when your grammar and punctuation get corrected)
