Annotation for Blog #4 From Inquiry on Revision vs Editing
In this article, it talks about the differences between revising and editing. Revising means that when the writer needs to come out with new ideas when he or she is missing evidences or not directly answering the prompt. Editing means like fixing grammar, changing the sentences structures or reword the sentences to sound more make sense but the ideas should be remain. Editing should be done for the final draft because if we are still struggling with making the new ideas, and we did editing first then the essay should not be strengthen. Revising focus on questioning the writer 's purpose and what can they do better. Editing focus on the text alone and style. The article is basically showing you how to revise it and edit it step by step using the composition pyramid.
The pyramid has three different parts in editing process. First, find out what the writer's thesis like what they are trying to say. Second, find out what are the evidences to support writer's thesis. Like the evidences is support to the thesis or not. Also, the evidence is relevant or reliable to the topic. Lastly, in drafting the writer will focus on the structure of the writing style and make the last product.
"The best writing will happen in the context of real readers' responding to your drafts." p(274)
" A peer group can also ask questions to help a writer set new goals" p(279)
-Those two quotes are saying that to become a well done product, we need peers to show our products and see what we are missing and what should we add based on peers' suggestions and comments.
