Revising Editing Power Point
This document discusses the processes of revising and editing writing.

Editing is defined as fixing grammar, style, word choice, usage, and punctuation at the word level. The document provides strategies for each process, such as ensuring unity, detail, and coherence during revising, and reviewing papers one error type at a time during editing. Tips are also given, such as taking breaks between drafts, getting peer feedback, and using resources like dictionaries.
Quoting, Paraphrasing And Summarizing
The document discusses the differences between quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing source materials. Quotes must match the original word-for-word, while paraphrases and summaries use the author's own words to convey the key ideas or main points in a condensed form. Both paraphrasing and summarizing require citing the original source.
Writing Standards For Seventh Grade
The document outlines writing standards and genres for 7th grade students, including narratives, persuasive essays, summaries, and responses to literature. It provides guidance on the key elements and structure for each genre. Narratives should use descriptive details to show events and have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Persuasive essays must take a clear position and include arguments and counterarguments. Summaries should introduce the topic, discuss main ideas in brief paragraphs, and wrap up without a formal conclusion. Responses to literature analyze a text using a thesis and evidence from the story to support points.
Conclusion
The document provides guidance on writing an effective conclusion paragraph. It advises restating the thesis statement in a broader context without repetition. It also recommends borrowing elements from the body paragraphs, referred to as "sprinkling", and making an application of the ideas without being preachy.

It finishes by reminding the reader of the key elements - revisiting the thesis, sprinkling knowledge, connecting to the intro, and making an application.
Summarizing and Paraphrasing
This document provides guidance on summarizing, paraphrasing, and synthesizing information from other sources in academic writing.

Here is a 4 line quotation integrated into a sentence in my essay:
According to leading health expert Dr. Susan Smith, making healthy choices is about more than just weight loss or appearance. As she states:
"Health is about feeling your best both physically and mentally. It's finding energy and joy in everyday activities rather than feeling drained. Making small changes like adding more vegetables or taking a walk after dinner can lead to big improvements in overall well-being."
This quotation effectively captures Dr. Smith's perspective that health is about overall wellness, not just physical appearance or numbers on a scale. Focusing on small, sustainable lifestyle changes and how they can enhance quality of life is a motivating message.
