4. Based on your activity, you might encountered several challenges like the misorganization of the words. It was too messy, and it was hard to form the sentences accordingly. That’s true because the words are randomly given most especially that you had the words “bird’s eye”. However, the answer is, Start with a bird’s eye view. Always check content clarity before editing. Now, y our draft is ready for readers. You might be wondering about its relevance. What you have done is more on revision and editing. Speaking about relevance, what do you think is the relevance of your activity into our topic today? How should we start with a bird’s eye view? What should we revise and edit? And how should we execute all those things? Let's try answering all these questions along with the lesson.

5. Now, we have arrived at the final stage of the writing process: post-writing. Many students may take this part for granted, they think that once they have finished researching and writing their papers, their work is complete. That is far from the truth. In fact, post-writing is where the hard work of adding to, deleting from, rewording, and reorganizing your essay happens. Reason why, for us to be guided easily and simply, let us first recall and apply our previous topic regarding pre-wing strategies, particularly Reading Outline. Below is the important parts of Using Post-Writing Strategies, using Reading Outline Structures. I. Using Post-Writing Strategies A. Steps in Revision 1. Determine the bird’s eye view 2. Portion and adding in, filtering, and re-organizing B. Steps in Editing 1. Re-read for Subject-Verb-Agreement 2. Re-read for Sentence Fragments and Run-on Sentences 3. Re-read for Spelling and Punctuations

6. Defining Revision and Editing Revision is the general process of going back through your whole draft, from start to end, and improving on or clarifying your writing subject's meaning. This can include adding in, taking out, moving around, and polishing certain parts of your draft to make it much more understandable and easier for reading. Revision focuses on the bigger picture of your draft so you can resolve any significant issues on content that may have otherwise been hidden while you were writing. Editing, known as proofreading, is the more meticulous process of clarifying meaning by revising each word and line of your draft. This includes you working on grammatical principles such as subject-verb agreement, verb tense, noun and pronoun usage, prepositions, sentence transitions, and verb tense; and typographical matters such as punctuation, spelling, and capitalization.

7. Always remember that revision and editing are two different activities. Isolating one from the other actually makes the rewriting process much easier. But whether you are revising or editing, it is important for you to revisit your work with an analytical eye so you can turn in a satisfying final draft with minimal errors. Only then will your draft be ready to face your readers.

8. Steps in Revision Revision can be simplified in two steps. (1) The first step is to take a bird's eye view of your draft, to reread it as a whole. Reviewing your draft this way lets you do two things: Check if you have attained your writing purpose (to entertain, to enlighten, to persuade, etc.) and check if you have used the language and tone that best serve your writing purpose. For instance, taking this excerpt from the essay of Carmen Nakpil, “Where is the Patis?”, what do you think is the purpose of it? Is the choice of language appropriate? Travel has transcended mere desire to become the ultimate aspiration for Filipinos. The Filipino's heart is set on venturing beyond borders. Envisioning oneself as a globe-trotting tourist is a persistent reverie for many. The allure of exploring the vibrant streets of Hong Kong, the bustling energy of Tokyo, and the myriad other captivating cities of Asia, or catching a fleeting glimpse of the timeless beauty of Rome, the romantic allure of Paris, or the cosmopolitan charm of London.

9. As an ordinary student, you may find the essay as complicated and complex. The underlined choice of words are too highfalutin. Now, If we will apply the (2) second step in revising which is the, Portion and adding in, filtering, and reorganizing, this will be the improved version of the essay. Travel has become the great Filipino dream. The Filipino dreams of going abroad. His most constant vision is that of himself as a tourist. To visit Hong Kong, Tokyo and other cities of Asia, perchance or to catch a glimpse of Rome, Paris or London or to go to America (even for only a week in a fly- specked motel in California) is the sum of all delights. As you observed, the paragraph is now clearer and directly expressed. The topic sentence, subtopic, and the supporting details are now even more visible.

10. Steps in Editing Once you have revised all the content of your draft to your liking, you can now proceed to the final stage of the writing process: editing. Remember that editing for proofreading is revising your draft line by line, word per word, according to proper grammar, spelling capitalization, and punctuation. Always make sure that content is clear before you start editing. As in revising, you will also be required multiple re-readings of your draft in editing, with each re-reading having a different editing focus from the last, so you can spot errors more accurately. For example, (1)take a first re-reading to check only for subject-verb agreement and correct pronoun usage. (2) Your second re-reading will have you focus next on sentence fragments and run-on sentences. (3) Your third re-reading will focus on spelling, your fourth re-reading on punctuation , and so on and so forth.

11. The first step in editing is re-reading for subject-verb-agreement. Below is an example of error in such step. What do you think is the mistake? We usually plays basketball, volleyball, or other team sports. I am someone who prefers one- on-one games because I am shy and I find it hard to work in a team. The mistake is in the first sentence. In subject-verb-agreement, a plural subject takes a plural verb. The subject we, which is plural, requires the plural form of the verb plays, which supposedly be play.

12. The second step in editing is re-reading for fixing fragments and run-on sentences. Below is an example of error in such step. What do you think is the mistake? Go slow men are at work . The mistake is the absence of period or comma. The period must be put after the word “slow” or a comma after the word “go”. If we put a period after the word “slow”, it means that the road is passable but rides slowly because there are men at work. Thus, it will become, Go slow. Men are at work. But if we put a comma after the word “go”, that means, riders are allowed to pass because the men at work are slow. Thus, it can also be, Go, slow men are at work.

13. The third step in editing is re-reading for checking spelling and punctuations. Below is an example of error in such step. What do you think is the mistake? a woman without her man is nothing The mistake is the absence of punctuations and capitalization. A comma must be put after the word “woman” and a comma after the word “man”. A woman, without her man, is nothing. In that case, the sentence implies that if a woman does not have a man, she is considered insignificant. In contrast, a man could also be insignificant if we place the punctuations in different placements. Below is the example. A woman: without her, man is nothing. Both are correct.

14. It appears that something as simple as punctuation can determine someone's abilities. However, punctuation holds significant power. With just a single mark of a pen, it can define someone's capability. As the saying goes, commas may be small, but they are terrible.

15. Now, if we look below the title of our lesson, there is a quote written there which says, “That's the magic of revisions—every cut is necessary, and every cut hurts, but something new always grows,” by Kelly Barnhill. This means that there are things in life that need to be revised or edited. These can be our unnecessary routines, habits, vices, or even the toxic people in our lives. We have to remember that revision and editing are not only limited to academic writings but also to life. Indeed, there are things that need to be filtered and deleted in life; however, there are also things that need to be fulfilled. We cannot merely delete or filter; some things need to develop, such as our spiritual aspects, mental health, and most importantly, our character. It would be useless to merely remove the negativities in life if we cannot develop what ought to be improved. It's just a matter of revision.

16. Developing Mastery To further develop your understanding, let's try answering these questions. In your notebook, tell whether it is under Revision or Editing. Copy and answer. It is the process of going back through your whole draft. The first step is to take a bird's eye view of your draft. Re-reading for subject-verb-agreement. A step of adding in, filtering, and reorganizing. Re-reading for fragments and run-on sentences. Sometimes also known as proofreading. It is the process of clarifying meaning by revising each word or line of your draft. Re-reading for spelling and punctuations. Always make sure that content is clear before starting editing. Check if you have attained your writing purpose (to entertain, inform, etc.).

17. Activity Now that you've learned various strategies for post-writing, take a moment to review your essay (ambition/advocacies/principles in life) and apply the steps for editing. This includes checking for subject-verb agreement, fixing any sentence fragments or run-on sentences, correcting spelling errors, and ensuring proper punctuation. Since your output is double-spaced, make your edits directly in the provided space.
