Revision isn't just polishing the draft but also rearranging material. Revising helps the writer to review drafts again, this time, with classmates and the teacher. Revising is:
  • Rereading rough draft
  • Sharing the rough draft
  • Revising on the basis of feedback
Personal Experience: After writing my essay for NCSU about myself, I read it out loud to my family. They pointed on the grammatical errors and complemented the parts that were well done. I revised some parts of the story to have better flow.

At this stage the student should not worry about fixing spelling, punctuation, grammar, and other errors because the main focus at this time is writing rough drafts and crafting leads. Personal Experience: Recently, when I was applying to NCSU I had to write an essay to admission panel. It passed about a decade since I wrote my last essay, which made me very worried. I started writing a rough draft. I kept in mind who is my audience while I was organizing my thoughts and ideas.Children observation: In the third-grade classroom, the teacher asked students to read the scholastic news from a brochure and write in journals their thoughts about the event. I liked how many students started retelling the story by using a variety of techniques. Some of them added dialogue, listed facts and described a problem. yagutes2011 https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326131224 2019-01-31 04:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326131224 Definition: Prewriting is defined as getting ready to write stage. It is important to start writing even before the idea fully developed. Writing starts with reading, talking and writing some ideas to identify which direction the writing will take. Personal Experience: I had trouble with writing because I couldn't organize my thoughts and ideas well. I started writing the outlines for my ideas. It helped me visualize and understand the purpose of each chosen topic.Children Observation: I work with special need children, K-first grade. After reviewing new words, the students have to write the sentence with one of these words. Sometimes they use more than one of new words to create the sentence. yagutes2011 https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326132530 2019-01-31 04:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326132530 Definition: Editing is the final form of writing. The main focus is to make the writing “optimally readable” to the audience. Writers perform the following activities during editing:Distancing themselves from the compositionProofreading to locate errorsCorrecting ErrorsPersonal Experience: After revising my essay, I edited it and came back to it in a few days. I proofread it and noticed some more errors that I missed the first time. The essay began getting the final form. At this stage, all the errors were corrected. Children Observation: after writing the sentences, the students corrected the errors individually. Some students volunteered to share their writings with the whole class by reading their stories to class and going over the errors. The teacher had the dictionaries available for the students use. Finally, the teacher collected the students work for proofreading with each student. They identified and corrected errors together with the student. yagutes2011 https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326143032 2019-01-31 06:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326143032 Definition: Publishing is a final step of writing where the writer presents the work to the appropriate audience. This is the most motivational stage because students usually like to share their work with others. Personal Experience: After editing my essay, I had read it to my friend. She was my audience and she told me that it is a well-written essay. Children Observation: The students who finished all the stages of writing had extra time to draw the picture to the story. They were excited to show their pictures to the class. yagutes2011 https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326146479 2019-01-31 06:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/yagutes2011/cueus3bfm6tj/wish/326146479
