Editing & Revising
Editing & Revising
Start with the Big Stuff. Unfortunately, successfully revising an essay does not entail changing a couple of commas and fixing one or two spelling mistakes. After you’ve written your first draft, think radically about how you can improve your essay. This may involve rewriting part or all of that draft.
Finish with the Details. Proofread your essay. This is quite different than step two above. Proofreading is the work you do as you pay attention to punctuation, grammar, and mechanics. Also make sure you review the five (5) guidelines for MLA Document formatting. This was first discussed in Unit 3.
