Revision and Proofreading

Throughout the readings and lecture this week, we have explored the differences in proofreading and revision. We have also read about the importance of this stage of the writing process. To begin this week, go to the EBSCOhost Database, search for and read the following article about revision:

Once you’ve read Chapter Seven, viewed this week’s lecture, and read Toor’s article, construct a 75-150 word response detailing your experiences with revision and proofreading. Why do we state that revision is the most important stage in the writing process? How do revision and proofreading differ? What steps can you take to ensure that you do not skip this stage in your writing tasks?
