Transcript
The Difference Between Revision and Editing Revision is about transforming: Content: Through the pre-writing and drafting stages, the writer may develop a new conception of where the whole piece wants to go. Organization: The writer may rearrange sentences or paragraphs. The writer will probably want to add transitions: in and out of paragraphs and from sentence to sentence within paragraphs Language: The writer should be upgrading vocabulary to be interesting, varied, and appropriate for the audience. The writer should also be combining sentences, eliminating redundancy, and using other rhetorical techniques that make the language more powerful and efficient. Editing is about correcting: Grammar: Agreement: Subject-verb Pronoun-antecedent Pronoun case Adjectival Adverbial Usage: Proper verb forms Consistency of verb tense Clarity: Placement of sentence elements Spelling Capitalization Punctuation Inadvertently omitted or ineffectively repeated words Overall presentation and “look” of the piece GRAMMAR IN THE HEART OF THE WRITING PROCESS: Pre-writing experience: (non-sentence form) Drafting Sharpen your nouns Minimize your modifiers Replace BE verbs and weak verbs with strong action verbs Achieve parallel structure Combine sentences: create complex sentences use appositives use absolutes Expand and shrink noun phrases. Turn clauses into modifying phrases. Decide where to place modifiers for desired effect. Revising Publication Editing Point of intervention for substantial language improvement Point of intervention for surface error correction
