Gilmore Chapter 1

Revision should definitely be hit upon as a critical part of writing and the entire process. Often when students get done with their writing they are extremely reluctant to go through it again. Even a final read through can be daunting when the paper is exceptionally large or time is being crunched before class time. So! I really enjoyed Gilmore's discussion on the importance of revision because I felt like the points it made were calling me out on my own bad habits with writing. There were a number of good points on the principles of revision and there was a great point made in students being able to know how to probably revise. Like I said, revision is not my thing, but it's certainly something I always look at after I've turned in my paper where I think "man I wish I had more time to revise"!
