Add: 3. In writing, revision is a powerful tool that relies heavily on ones knowledge and intentions. Revision is a complex threshold concept, identified as ideas that are essential to grasping further topics of study .It is sometimes viewed as challenging for students due to preconceiving views. The hierarchy system established in classroom settings between teacher and student, denotes revision to be seen as a form of punishment, forcing students to fix their mistakes. It also works to make students more receptive of teacher feedback, giving teachers the title of "co-authors" of students writing.

Peer feedback gives writers and outside perspective, increasing their understanding of how their writing is being interpreted by their intended audience.

Revised: 2. In an essay, revision may involve the identification of a thesis, a reconsideration of structure or organization, working at uncovering weaknesses, elaborating evidence and illustrations, or clarifying unclear positions. A factor that distinguishes students from making surface level revisions to macro level revisions, is the amount of time given by teachers. Revision takes time.

In general, revision of written work can be guided by questions such as:


 * Is the writing clear? Does it make sense?
 * Is there enough information to describe ideas?
 * Is there too much information so that the writing wanders off topic?
 * Are the ideas or the narrative flow in a logical order?

Revised: 1. Within the writing process, revision comes after the writer has reflected upon their work. Revision involves many of the strategies known generally as editing but also can entail larger conceptual shifts of purpose and audience as well as content. It is a process in writing of rearranging, adding, or removing paragraphs, sentences, or words. It involves writers asking themselves who, what, and why questions. Who is my audience? What is the theme? Why is this important? This analytical approach of thinking forces the writer to examine their work with a critical mindset. Reflection helps writers be their own guide to revision through metacognition, which is defined as knowing ones own thinking process.
