What are revising and editing?
Revising and editing are two distinct processes.

Revising is intentionally looking at ways of


improving your essay. Revision is an opportunity
to revisit and rethink your or someone elses
assignment or topic, who the intended reader or
audience is, and the purpose or thesis.

Editing is correcting the mechanics of your


essay like sentence structure, grammar,
punctuation, and spelling.

reviewing an academic writing such as:
1. A strong thesis statement
2. Clear topic sentences
3. Specific supporting details
4. Coherence

Peer-Editing
Peer editing is an interactive process
of reading and commenting on a
classmates writing. Here, you will
exchange your first draft with a
classmate, read each others work, and
make suggestion for improvement.
Peer feedback vs Teacher
