Grab your reader and don't let go!: 3 Revision strategies

3 Quick Revision Strategies:

Revision Strategy 1. Determine your central idea.

If you can't make this statement: The central idea of this nonfiction piece is...because..., then you need to brainstorm and figure out what you want your intended audience to know about your topic.

Revision Strategy 2. Headings and Subheadings

By figuring out your main ideas and writing down your headings and subheadings before you write, you will save lots of time in writing and revision. However, if you need to write everything down first, then, go back and look at how you can group your ideas together to make them flow.

Revision Strategy 3. Reasoning through examples helps you win the game

Did you give examples for each main point? Did you include evidence from other sources? Did you cite those sources? Did you tell why these examples are important to your main point and your central idea?
