Today, we simply went over "editing" in our textbook. We've been through this reading when we were assigned to the moodle room last week, so today was just a refresher on what editing is. It is always important to remember (COPS): capitalization, omission, punctuation, & spelling check. As well as (CLUESS): coherence, language, unity, emphasis, support, and sentence check. Towards the end of the reading, two exercises were given to us that required us to revise and edit the first drafts that were shown in the textbook. There was one last exercise in this chapter that had us write, revise, and edit our own essays using the topic we used in the earlier chapters; 2 and 3. I came to find that editing is not quite THAT easy...But I know that with practice and practice, we can all perfect our essays and writing skills.
Don't forget that next class is ONLINE! See everyone NEXT WEEK! :)
I agree with you. Practice makes perfect so we must study well and exercise our editing techniques!
