Revising and editing are very important in writing an essay. It is a good idea to edit and revise your essay once you submit it. For example, if you don't revise or edit your essay before turning it in, there could errors within your essay. We also learned about this word in class before called recursive, which means to look back. Today's activities were pretty interesting. We learned about useful pre-writing procedures and the process analysis.
Revising and editing are very important in writing an essay. It gives you a chance to preview your work and look for silly mistakes you have made. Revising and editing can change your first draft from sucky to excellent. It will help you so much in the future.
Today's activities were interesting. We learned about process analysis. I also learned how to change the oil in a car. I do not change my oil in my car. So it was great learning about that.
I agree. Revising and Editing does give the writer to correct your silly mistakes. I have changed my oil myself but I don't consider myself a mechanic. Although changing my oil myself saved 15 dollars, I don't know of any recycling centers located on Guam.
According to the University's article, it is important to fulfill the writing assignment's requirements. Sometimes these requirements need critical thinking to decipher what the instructor is looking for. Once all the requirements are met, polishing up the essay to flow and correcting grammar comes next.
Today's class was about Process Analysis or writing about doing. It is important to write down the steps in the outline in order to ensure something was done properly.

It is very important to revise and edit because you would not want to turn in a grammatically incorrect essay. The University of Toronto has made a site that we can go back to so that we will know if we revise and edit efficiently.
Revising and editing means to change but not all changes are for the better. Editing and proof reading attend to the detail and are better done after you've decided that you are basically happy with what you are saying. Both revising and editing deserve serious attention.
Class is always fun. Especially when we all laugh together. Finally, at the end of class we use the brain stretcher exercise as usual.
Revising and editing helps you improve your essay. The University of Toronto gave examples on how to polish you work which I found helpful. I have a problem with using contractions and usually it is not a professional way to present an essay. I believe that having correct grammar is important.
Revising and editing are very important because you do not want to turn in an incomplete paper. As we right we may not see our errors, but when we go back and reread we are able to identify any mistakes.
I like that we did the oil changing, because now i know the steps to change my oil. I also like the post card because it is amazing and elegant.

Today's class activity was fun. We always have funny moments, but learn at the same time. I am always looking forward to coming to this class.
Revising does help a lot. For instance, I usually add too much details that leads to something else. My friends who peer review paper advise that I should drop a few information so that it would not be so confusing. I always thought that the more information included, the better. However, I learn from revisions that that it is not always the case.
I got to be honest Jay, having that little bonding sash during theatre prior to English class really opened my eyes about you! You are way more enthusiastic for you work than I thought!
