Revising and Proofreading (graded)

In this exploration of the final two stages of the writing process, we examine the value and mechanics of revising and proofreading our documents. A review of Chapter 2: Revising Drafts (page 52–54) and Chapter 17 on style is a good place to begin. For this discussion

1. contrast the differences between revising and proofreading. Which is harder for you?; and

2. share the strategies you have learned in this class and in other classes that work well in both of these stages.
