Stage Three: Sharing/Peer Editing
In sharing we exchange papers with another writer or writers, read and see if the paper covers the topic,
addresses the appropriate audience, follows a logical order, has appropriate examples, and is coherent. In
this exchange we mark up each other’s papers pointing out what works in the paper, asking questions
where we are confused, and making suggestions for improvement for the next draft. We begin to clarify
and polish here.
Stage Four: Second Draft
After you have made your preliminary revisions, this is the stage where you re-write your paper from your
own revisions, clarifying the focus of your paper, and begin to show some polish.
Stage Five: Sharing and Revising
Here we again exchange papers with another writer or writers and make suggestions for fine-tuning the
paper/writing. We look focus, structure, grammar, sentence structure and variation, word choice, spelling,
support, organization, etc—the total package.
Stage Six: Editing
This is the stage where you polish up your paper, make final adjustments, and look for spelling,
punctuation, capitalization, and grammatical errors. Your goal is to produce a well-thought and well written
paper, your final draft—the paper/writing you want to submit for the best grade.
Stage Seven: The Final Draft/ Publishing
This final stage is where you produce your final polished copy. This is the copy you want to turn in as your
final product. For publishing, you make all corrections trying to make a perfect copy free of errors.
NOTE: IN THE DRAFT STAGES, YOU MAY END UP WRITING SEVERAL DRAFTS. REMEMBER,
WRITING DOESN’T COME IN PERFECTION ON THE FIRST OR SECOND TRY, EVEN THOUGH
YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF CLEARLY FOR CERTAIN TIMED WRITINGS.
