Week 8 Overview.

The Thinker

Welcome to the Unit 5 Overview!

This is week 8. 

Now that you've gotten some practice with different parts of the writing process, it's time to take a look at Global Revision and Editing.

Revision and Editing are often two words used interchangeably, but really, they're two different processes. You might find, however, that you revise and edit back and forth several times over during your writing process.

We'll examine several Global Revision strategies described in A Writer's Reference, and then we'll work on ways that you can utilize different aspects of global revision to improve your essays.

Revision strategies are certainly important, transferable skills. They give a writer structure for returning to a piece of text and reexamining the text from multiple and varied perspectives, and it is that process that gets the piece of writing to its ultimate finished form.
