    Revision Strategies
    A.) Students developed various terms to describe the type of changes they made.
    Here are some examples:
    - Scratch out and Do Over Again
    - Reviewing
    - Redoing
    - Marking Out
    - Slashing and Throwing Out
    B.) Revision Process
    - Students concentrate on particular words apart from their role in the text.
    - The aim of revision according to the students own description is to clean up the speech the redundancy of speech is unnecessary in writing.
    - Redoing means cleaning up the paper and crossing out.
    C.) Rejection of Words
    - When revising students ask themselves is there a better phrase, or am I repeating the same phrase often.
    - For the students, writing is translating: the thought to the page, the language of speech to the more formal language of prose, the word to its synonym.
    D.)Repetition
    - Occurs in large part because student writing imitates transcribes speech: attention to repetitious words are a manner of cleaning speech.
    The students decide to stop revising when they decide that they have not violated any of the rules for revising.
