The revision process is crucial for many reasons.  For example, if you have a detailed outline, you can draft quickly for two reasons:  You have the right ingredients in the best order and by drafting quickly, you are more likely to be creative.  You won't be distracted by potential errors that can be fixed later.  Therefore, when you save time in your schedule for revising, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes.  To see how revision improves your writing, let's study some specific examples from your Research Papers.

Complete the following steps:

Step 1: Compare an earlier version of your rough draft of the Research Paper with this week's version.

Step 2:  Choose one significant revision that you made.

Step 3:  Post the two sections of your assignment and label them Original and Revision.

Step 4:  In the same post, include a detailed discussion to explain your thought processes as you made the revision to show why the revised sentences or graphic are more effective.  (Due Date:  Thursday for the Original Post)

Step 5:  Read the responses of the other students and respond to one person by Saturday. Try to respond to a student whose work has not yet been analyzed or write with a different perspective so that our discussion is not repetitive. Be tactful yet informative when you discuss the work of other students.
