    SUGGESTION: For this early writing phase of your writing, skip lines. This will allow you to make revision as you work through the following step.<\/p>\n

    Revision<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Reread you writing and make changes\/revisions to make the writing flow.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Check that the writing has a beginning, a middle and a strong ending.<\/li>\n
    2. Look for sentences that begin with A-n-d or phrases such as \u2018and then\u2019 and X those words out.<\/li>\n
    3. Read to be certain you have used the best \/strongest **vocabulary, especially nouns, verbs **and adjectives.<\/li>\n
    4. Check that you have used writing conventions properly. This includes sentence structure, punctuation, grammar and other conventiions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Ask a peer to listen as you share your writing and make 1-2 suggestions that will make your writing stronger. After you make further changes move on to the next step.<\/p>\n

      Write out or Type <\/strong><\/p>\n

      With your changes made, it\u2019s time to create a more finished copy to share. Always reread you work before you submit your final copy to become a finished work.<\/p>\n

      **Share <\/strong><\/p>\n

      Formally the writing might be read aloud, printed out, etc.<\/p>\n

      Informally the writing is made available for peers and others to read.<\/p>\n

      **Evaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n

      It\u2019s important to receive feedback on what you write. That is the best way to improve your skills.<\/p>\n
