Revise and edit your work


Consider the content • Does your writing need anything added? Additional descriptions, facts or steps?


• Does your writing make sense? • Has anyone given you feedback you could include?


Check the meaning, sense and flow • Do your layout and presentation help your writing to make sense?


• Does each paragraph have a topic sentence? • Do you link your ideas within and between paragraphs, using linking words and conjunctions?


Pay attention to detail • Use a dictionary to check your spelling • Check how effectively you have used pronouns, clauses, phrases and prepositions


• Check your punctuation • Use a thesaurus to choose more interesting nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs


• Check your verb tenses and agreement Check the final draft, publish and present


• Read your work through once more to “proof read” and make sure


• Write out or type your work neatly and attractively


• Present your work to the teacher or the class or put it up on display


Always be ready to explain and talk about what you have written to others
