The Writing Process Steps 4 and 5:Revising and Editing an Assignment
Revising
Revising is the fourth step in the writing process recommended by the
Centre for Academic Writing. Revising means making large-scale changes
to the draft of your essay or other writing assignment. Changes made
during the revising stage typically involve re-developing and re-drafting
paragraphs, sections of your paper’s main body, and parts of your
introduction and conclusion.
When you are writing assignments for your university courses, expect to
revise your written work a minimum of three times before it is ready for
assessment.
To revise an assignment, check the clarity of your argument and the logic
of your paper’s structure. You may need to move sections around or re-
draft certain areas to strengthen your paper’s argument or organisation.
While revising, you may have to return to the inventing stage if you find
that a sub-section of your paper is weak, and you may need to do some
more reading, discussing, or brainstorming to generate ideas for drafting
additional material. You may also have to return to the planning and
drafting stages if you find that your assignment lacks organisation in part
or overall.
By moving back and forth between the first four steps of the writing
process (inventing, planning, drafting, revising), your central
argument and supporting arguments will begin to emerge and be
strengthened.
