3. Editing and Revision Two types of revision:
Local revision: whenever you make changes to a text that affect only one or two sentences.
Grammar and spelling revision usually falls into this category
Local revisions should be focused on towards the end of the writing process, after global revisions or changes that affect the content of the essay
Global revision: when a change in one part of your essay affects other parts of your essay
Any changes to your thesis statement or thesis question will likely fall here
Also includes changes to the main ideas of the essay, the structure, purpose, audience, and genre
Changes to topic sentences and transitions also fall here
You should be globally revising your essay throughout the writing process and certainly with every new draft.
Global revisions are the most important revisions
