Revision and Proofreading

Throughout the readings, we have explored the differences in proofreading and revision. We have also read about the importance of this stage of the writing process. To begin this week, go to the EBSCOhost Database, search for and read the following article about revision:

Toor. R. (2012). Not my type. Chronicle of Higher Education, 58(27).

Note: This article may not be the first article on your search results list. Double-check to make sure you are reading the correct article.

Once you've read Chapter Seven, viewed this week's lecture. and read Toor's article, construct a 75-150 word response detailing your experiences with revision and proofreading.

Why do we state that revision is the most important stage in the writing process? How do revision and proofreading differ? What steps can you take to ensure that you do not skip this stage in your writing tasks?

Remember to use specific examples from the readings and lectures to back up the claim you are making. Then, respond to at least two of your classmates' and/or you instructor's posts.

Please respond to the initial question by day 5 and be sure to pea two additional times to peers and/or instructor by day 7. The Initial post by day 5 should be 75 to 150 words. but may go longer depending on the topic. If you use any source outside of your own thoughts, you should reference that source. Include solid grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling.
