Questions to Ask for Revision

Partner Revision

I reread my paper out loud to myself looking at it carefully for any confusing words, sentences, or parts.

I think I need to add:

more interesting vocabulary

a better lead sentence to hook my audience

stronger verbs that show and not just tell what is happening

a concluding sentence that ties the piece together

capitalization where needed

correct punctuation

I think I need to take away:

parts that don't make sense in my story

confusing words

words I may have used too often (and, but, so, then, I, he, she, it…)

sentences that are repeating what I have said

misspelled words

capital letters where they are not needed (in the middle of words or words that don't need them)

I think I need to cut and paste to move some things around:

to put things in better order

to make sense

to sound clearer and better

to make room and add to the piece
