The Writing Process
Successful revision includes two basic actions: first, re-seeing (re-visioning) the piece of writing, and then re-writing that piece, based on what the author's re-seeing has revealed.
But, of course, it's not that simple. For one thing, the process is
neither tidy nor linear (one draft, revised draft, and voila! gorgeous finished
manuscript). When we design assignments to allow for cycles of revision,
we invite our students to join in the active business of the academic
community: thinking, discussing, rethinking, researching, and yet again
rethinking. Writing that results from such a process is writing in which
learning occurs and which is more interesting to read.
