In the revision stage you should have already examined aspects of your writing like the organization and word choice, etc. - so this stage is mostly focused on examining writing conventions. ]]> 2016-07-25 23:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/deacym1/8c6q64ni4pcd/wish/116955889 https://padlet.com/deacym1/8c6q64ni4pcd/wish/116959590 Not only does publishing include finalizing and perfecting a piece of writing, but also preparing to share the piece. This may be done in print (using a word processor) or verbally (such as a presentation). Allowing students to publish their final pieces of writing on a computer allows them to practice using technology resources both in the school, at home, and in their communities. This portion of the writing process is particularly valuable for ELLs because it promotes a sense of accomplishment. When an ELL who is typically frustrated by writing can see his or her piece in a class book, in a school newspaper, or hung up on a wall, it shows the student that their hard work has paid off.

When editing students check for and make corrections or changes to their Capitalization, part of speech Usage, Punctuations and Spelling. During the revision process students reread their draft to see, for example, whether the paper/thoughts are well-organized and the transitions between sentences, words and paragraphs are smooth. Students would Add sentences and words, Remove unwanted words and sentences, Move sentences and word placement and Substitute words or sentences for others.
