    - she gives us the 6 steps to revision and re-writing
    - students understand the revision process as a rewording activity.

    *The author describes two different models which are implemented on her research, Gordon Rohmans and James Britton. These models are linear: they separate the writing process into discrete stages.
    *Case Study Approach: utilizes freshmen students and experienced writers to write essays in 3 categories; expressive, explanatory, and persuasive.
    *Deletion, substitution, addition and reordering four levels identified
    *word,phrase,sentence,theme (the extended statement of one idea)
    *A coding system was developed for identifying the frequency of revision by level and operation.

  4. - Experienced writers revise their essay by finding a form or shape in their argument.
    - Experienced writers believe that they learned the causes and conditions that can influence their reader.
    - Experienced writers say student writers need to rely on their own sense of good writing.
    - They have more than one draft.
    - Their language while writing changes when they’re having an argument.
    - Their first draft is always very scattered.
    - They take it apart piece by piece and put it back together again.
    - In order to write “professionally”, student writers need to see their writing with their own eyes.
    - In order to be a good writer you would need to write down your thoughts before you begin to write your essay.
    - To be a good writer it is not about what you know, but about how much experience you have writing.
    - Private examples are preferably used than public examples. Private examples can help you write better.
