My understanding of revision has grown far beyond just fixing grammar or rewording awkward sentences. I’ve learned that revision is about re-seeing the entire piece—its structure, clarity, and purpose. It’s a process of asking whether the ideas are fully developed, if the argument holds up, and whether the writing effectively reaches its audience. For example, in Task 2, I revised my draft not just by cleaning up the language, but by strengthening the connection between my research questions and the sources I chose. I also restructured parts of my analysis to make the logic flow more clearly. This deeper approach to revision helped make the final draft more persuasive and cohesive.
I also applied this understanding in Task 3, where I remediated my research review into a multimodal presentation. After receiving full credit on the draft, I still revisited each slide to sharpen the design and the wording. I didn’t settle for “good enough”—I focused on refining the visuals and making sure every point aligned with the original analysis while fitting the new format. These choices show how I’ve come to see revision as an essential part of communicating effectively, not just a last-minute fix. It reflects my growth in understanding writing as a process that includes reflecting, questioning, and reshaping ideas until they fully support the writer’s goal.
I also want to include Reading Response #3 because it asked me to create a revision plan for Task #3. That assignment helped me reflect on what needed improvement in my multimodal project and pushed me to think critically about how to revise for clarity, design, and effectiveness. It was a key part of my revision process and shows how I’ve learned to approach revision with intention and strategy, not just surface-level edits.
