Revision Techniques
During the revision of a piece of writing, it is essential to determine the origin, time of
publication and the originality of the author. If a person revises work immediately after
writing, there is a low possibility that they will find any errors at the time. In addition, the
originality of an author is essential. Some people are from countries in which English is their
native language while others are not. Therefore, having such knowledge will help the
reviewer determine which essays to revise thoroughly. It is crucial to consider these factors
before starting the revision process. The first technique involves revising the paper by
rechecking the thesis statement (Ramage et al., 36). If the statement does not match the
content, the writer has an opportunity to make corrections to match it. The other technique
involves reviewing the title to determine whether it describes the body of the essay. After
reviewing the thesis and the title, it is crucial to reread the whole piece to check whether the
sentence structures are correctly placed to make a clear meaning to the reader. Finally, the
writer should correct the grammar of the paper to ensure that mistakes are eliminated to
provide an excellent essay (Goodburn, Amy, and Heather, 89). The hot spotting technique
focuses on selecting and review of a draft. It involves revising the latter by picking a
significant point in the draft and editing it into a new document to expand on the idea. This
technique helps improve writers improve their work.
