Now it’s time to revise. Revise once, revise twice, revise as many times that you need to. No, you’re not to editing yet. With revision your looking at how it sounds. Read your writing out loud. Does it sound right? Is there another word that might have worked better or an idea that could be made better. Revision takes rereading and often another pair of eyes to look at it as well.
Six traits as a revision tool
Take a look at a six traits writing rubric. Score yourself on the six traits, consider what you need to improve in everything don't score your conventions. (That's editing not revising)
Look at the chart below or get a chart from the internet. You wouldn't believe how many times on an editing sight I wanted to tell someone who I helped to revise their piece. Did you look at a six traits writing rubric?
It's easy to do and important to. Don't skip this step. You don't have to be a teacher to use it.
