1. The steps of revising a given
paragraph

2. 1- Before revising:
• Take a break from your writing, if
only for five minutes. This will allow
you to approach your paper with a
fresh mind.

3. 2- Then revising takes place:
• A- Read your paragraph slowly from the beginning to
the end.
• B- Read it out loud and focus on the following:
– The title of your paragraph:
Ask yourself: "Dose the title briefly describe and reflect the
purpose of the paper?
– Topic sentence / main idea:
Does the topic sentence state what your paragraph speaking
of? If not change it and write a suitable topic sentence.
– Supporting details:
Does each supporting detail relate clearly to the topic
sentence? If not, omit the one that doesn't relate.
– Concluding sentence:
Does your paragraph have a clear conclusion that brings
your idea to closure? Does the concluding sentence restate
the main idea and summarize the supporting details?
