To Provide Writing Editing
Writing editing gives you the opportunity to preview your paper for the eventual audience. Writing editing is more than proofreading, although in the final correcting stage it takes in some detail checking. Good writing editing can change an ordinary first draft into a good final product. It is more work, but results in real satisfaction while you discover you have said what you wished.
At first, you should verify whether you have completed the purpose of the task. You should look at the instruction sheet, and then check your work to make sure you may say yes to the following questions:
1. Have you carried out the type of thinking the paper sheet required for (analyze, compare, argue, explore)?
2. Have you created the kind of document needed (e.g., essay, critique, book review, personal response, research report, field notes, lab report)?
3. Have you used methods and concepts of argumentation studied in the course? You should not be shy of employing theoretical definitions from the course. In addition, you should beware of listing information or retelling stories. Observing your topic sentences in succession will demonstrate what types of ideas you have highlighted.
At second, you should look at the whole paper organization. It is useful to print everything out so that you are able to view the whole document. Consider these questions, and then revise to obtain the answers you need. Does the introduction explain where the rest of your document is headed? If your paper is argument-based, you should have a thesis statement. Typically, research papers begin with a research question statement.
