After all these steps in the process of writing has accomplished, to prove that the text ii perfect, revising and editing as part of the stages in writing should be used.
Revising and editing are basically the elimination of errors in the text which has resulted during the writing process and include ambiguous phrases, repetition, unclear structure, reorganizing and grammatical errors.
These stages enable craftiness of the writing process, including clarity, coherence and concision. Revising and editing also improves your vocabulary and makes the use of literary devices more efficient and therefore readers take keen interest in reading such pieces of work.
Finally, instructing students to revise and edit the writing process is very important in that they will improve on their writing skills and therefore produce effective work that will enroll themselves in becoming academic writers. Focusing on strengths and clarity, comparing texts and emphasizing on the body argument are some of the areas that are most challenging for instruction of the writing process.
I do agree that revising and editing improves the readability of texts on the reader's end. However, teachers should also remember that revising and editing are done in one to three ways. The first way is by the student themself where to teacher simply asks learners to revise what they've written and make the necessary corrections. The other way is having the teacher highlight the areas to be corrected. Lastly, students could peer review each other's works. This is a method that assists both teachers and students by allowing the student to feel less pressured and giving the teacher more time to really assist those in need.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find interesting is that editing is not only making correction to the written piece after reviewing it, but it is also making adjustments to ensure that the intentions of the writing has been accomplished. This means that having the piece read and critiqued by peers is crucial, because it is a space for growth and essential feedback that the author can use to determine that their viewpoints and emotions have been successfully relayed to their readers.
