    The document outlines an in-class activity where students were split into groups and assigned topics to quickly write about without editing. They then exchanged papers and tried to summarize the purpose of the writing in one sentence for each section, to understand the original topic claim. Common misconceptions about revision were discussed, such as that it should occur with each draft, it's okay to ask for advice without following it, and that revising only means correcting. Students were asked about themes from the assigned reading on whether revision is constant or a separate step, and if last-minute essays still contain revisions.

    Discussion 4/9

    Eryn, Molly, Andrew, Emily, and Sam


    Define Revision

    What is the point of it?

    When is it necessary?

    How does it happen?

    What does it involve?


    Writing Activity
    ● Take 5 minutes to write about the topic given to you.
    ● Stay focused on the topic. Take the claim even if you don’t
    usually agree with it.
    ● ONLY RULES
    ○ Don’t share your claim with anyone else
    ○ Style, strategy, structure is all up to you
    ○ Don’t stop writing
    ○ No rereading
    ○ No going back and “fixing” any writing
    ○ Just focus your writing on it’s purpose and let the ideas
    and writing flow
    ○ You want to get as much writing done to support your
    topic within the time frame
    Reading Activity

    ● After receiving someone else’s paper, read the first


    page/piece of writing.
    ● Once reading it through, write a one sentence overview
    of what you believed was the purpose of the piece.
    ● Flip over the paper.
    ● Read the second page/piece of writing.
    ● After reading that, write a new one sentence overview
    of the purpose of the second piece of writing.
    ● KEY: You’re trying to determine the original one
    sentence claim that the author wrote about.
    Were the two sentences that you wrote close to the
    author’s original claim?

    Were they way off?

    Was one closer than the other?


    Common Misconceptions about Revision

    ● Revision should occur with each draft crafted,


    including the first draft.
    ● It’s okay to leave some spots unfinished and ask
    the person for advice about how to proceed.
    ● If you don’t agree with the advice or suggestions
    from the revisions, just ignore them.
    ● Your paper is done after you finish revising.
    ● Revising is correcting.
    Article Discussion

    From the reading assigned for today, what were


    some major themes or ideas that you noticed?

    Do you agree that revision is a constant process or


    a separate step?

    Anything about the article that was surprising?

    Do last-minute “2 am” essays still contain revisions?
