Strand - Writing

Cluster - Production and Distribution of Writing

[W.7.5] - Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed.

Resources:


  • Editing
    Component of writing and preparing presentations concerned chiefly with improving clarity, organization, conciseness, and appropriateness of expression relative to task, purpose, and audience; often involves replacing or deleting words, phrases, and sentences that are awkward or confusing and correcting errors in spelling, usage, mechanics, and grammar. See Revising, Rewriting
  • Revising
    Component of writing and preparing presentations concerned chiefly with reworking a text in light of task, purpose, and audience considerations. Compared to editing, revising is a larger-scale activity often associated with the overall substance and structure of a text. See Rewriting.
  • Rewriting
    Component of writing and preparing presentations that involves largely or wholly replacing a previous, unsatisfactory effort with a new effort on the same or a similar topic or theme but better aligned to task, purpose, and audience. Compared to revising, rewriting is a larger-scale activity more akin to replacement than to enhancement.
