Now you will be doing three things: revising your paper (which means to rethink your ideas); polishing your paper (which means to edit and proofread); and recopying your paper as neatly as possible.


Use the following checklist as you revise and edit the writing that you have done. When you are finished revising, you must make a final copy of your paper. Then, proofread your final copy to make sure that all of your revisions have been made.
CHECKLIST FOR REVISION:


  1. Do I have a clear central idea that connects to the topic?

  2. Do I stay focused on my central idea?

  3. Do I support my central idea with important and relevant details/examples?

  4. Do I need to take out details/examples that DO NOT support my central idea?

  5. Is my writing organized and complete, with a clear beginning, middle, and end?

  6. Do I use a variety of interesting words, phrases, and/or sentences?


CHECKLIST FOR EDITING


  1. Have I checked and corrected my spelling to help readers understand my writing?

  2. Have I checked and corrected my punctuation and capitalization to help readers understand my writing?


CHECKLIST FOR PROOFREADING:


  1. Is everything in my final copy just the way I want it?
