Language and Writer’s Craft: revising and editing
my Notes
11. Respond to the following questions:
• Which verb moods would you use to show something that might happen?
• Which verb mood would you use to state a fact?
• Which would you use in commands or demands?
• How does changing the verb mood affect the meaning of your sentence?
Check Your Understanding
It is essential that writers take the time to edit drafts to correct errors in grammar and usage, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Return to your draft and self-edit and peer-edit to strengthen the grammar and language conventions in your draft. Be sure to create a new writer’s checklist that contains specific areas of concern.
Reflection: Reflect on your experience.
1. How did working with peers help you to revise and edit?
2. How did your revisions and editing strengthen your draft?
3. Did you meet your speaking and listening goals? Why or why not?
