Trends That Need A Closer Look
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychological health condition that affects a lot of children, teenagers, and even in some cases, adults. The affected person demonstrates signs of impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention. People with ADHD suffer tremendously because they do not know how to manage their emotions and also being organized. They tend to quickly get into trouble with other people because of their inability to process the information correctly, something that makes them take action before thinking things over. The brain is unable to process information effectively because of high levels of imbalance between dopamine and norepinephrine chemicals that help the brain function. To promote the chemicals balance in the brain, different types of medications are used. A prescribed drug should not make a diagnosis worse by adding more symptoms nor should it be addictive.

Introduction
College students are often tempted to write essays the night
before they are due and then submit them as is. Even in the
professional world, employees may send out emails, letters, or
other forms of work-related material before checking for errors.
Website pages are sometimes published without a second
thought as to checking and double-checking for errors. This
method, however, will almost always result in the author seeing
the mistakes later and feeling embarrassed for not editing first.

Revision and editing are critical to the writing process. While
brainstorming and drafting, writers should focus on getting their
thoughts out and the content down; this is not the time to revise.
Later during the revision stage, the writer should focus on
revising the material and proofreading for grammatical errors.
Even best-selling authors must still revise and edit because
mistakes are always made, and often writers do not notice them
the first time they revise. The best writers edit over and over
again before turning in a final submission. This is the way the
author is most likely to create organized content that is well
written. As writing expert William Zinsser (2006) said,
“Rewriting is the essence of writing well—where the game is
won or lost” (p. 83).
Many writers, including students, often do not like the idea of
editing or are not sure how to go about it. Sometimes writers
assume that editing is simply looking for grammatical errors or
that they do not have the skills to self-edit or peer edit;
however, because a reader knows when a concept does not make
sense, a sentence is too wordy or awkward, or an argument
jumps to conclusions, any reader can revise and edit. Often,
reading out loud to oneself or to someone else can help to locate
8. where revisions are necessary.
Genre, Revision, and Editing
Because genre is interrelated with purpose and audience, it is
important to consider who the audience is and what the purpose
is while revising. Recall the discussion of genre in Chapter 3.
Revision means to “see again.” It is the act of reading written
material and rewriting and changing areas that need to be
corrected. Revision generally focuses on “big picture” items,
such as the standard parts of an essay, organization and flow,
and generalizations and biases.
Editing is the act of reading written material that has been
revised and correcting conventions related to grammar and
mechanics. Editing generally focuses on detailed items such as
grammar, mechanics, and writing styles.
Revision
When self-revising or even peer revising, an editor should focus
first on higher level concerns rather than small or minor details.
The following are the elements a writer should look for when
revising.
Introduction Content and Style
Recall that the purpose of the introduction is to draw readers in
and engage readers in the writing. In addition, the introduction
discusses the background of the subject. It can be tempting to
be overly opinionated or passionate in the introduction, but it is
important to know your audience and how your introduction
may affect your readers. Writers should be aware of how they
frame the introduction for their readers. When revising an
introduction, ask the following questions:
· Is the opening catchy?
· Will the opening engage the reader?
· Is the opening easy to understand?
· Is the introduction appropriate for the genre?
· Will the opening appeal to the audience? Thesis Statement
While a thesis statement may vary depending on the genre of
the essay, generally, in first-year composition classes, a thesis
statement is the paper’s central argument, is one sentence long,
9. and is located at the end of the introduction. Thesis statements
are typically written in third person statements; however, there
are some exceptions to this. The thesis must make a statement
as to what the essay is trying to prove in order to avoid
irrelevant information.
When revising a thesis, ask the following questions:
· What point of view does the thesis statement employ?
· Does the thesis avoid statements like “This essay/paper will
talk about…”?
· Is the thesis too broad?
· Is the thesis too narrow?
· Is the thesis argumentative?
· Is the thesis a question?
· Is the thesis not a fact or an observation?
· Is the thesis located in an appropriate place?
· Is the thesis an exaggeration?
· Is the thesis a generalization?
· Is the thesis vague or general?
· Does the content in the essay support and refer back to the
thesis?
· Does the thesis meet the genre requirements?
· Does the thesis answer why and how?
· Does the thesis directly state or imply the essay’s central
argument?
When revising the thesis, also keep the genre in mind. Tables
4.1 and 4.2 contain examples of thesis statements based on the
type of essays written in this course.
10. EXAMPLES:
1. After reviewing Chapter 4 of the text book, a technique that
can be used to improve the introductory paragraph would be to
make the opening catchy and easy to understand. Also making
the thesis statement is informative and genre specific to ADHD
and the increase in diagnosis.
Introductory paragraph:
Over the past several years there has been an increase in
diagnoses regarding ADHD in children and young adults. While
there are many reasons for the increase in diagnoses it has been
found that as of 2012 there has been an increased number of
children with ADHD in the U.S. by 22%. (Brown University
Child & Adolescent Psychopharmacology Update, 2013).
Another attribute to such a large increase would physicians’ and
parents’ changed attitude towards diagnosing
attention/hyperactivity problems. More parents appear to
consider ADHD diagnosis and treatment as a means to improve
their child’s academic achievements, commonly with the aid of
medications. This change in attitude may also be associated
with the dramatic increase in female ADHD diagnosis
prevalence (Davidovitch, M. et al., 2017) The cause for increase
was found to be because of over-diagnosis, greater awareness to
this disorder by parents and misdiagnoses by physicians.
2. Within this new introductory paragraph that will be using a
revision. Starting out with an open catchy tone that makes the
reader want to find out more. Kind of like starting with,
11. diagnosed with ADHD is way overuse and treated with
medicine. Getting with the reader engage to read more on this,
medication for ADHD might not have any real proof that is
effective in the years to come. The next thing would be a
sentence that plays of what is to come in the thesis statement.
Then coming into it would be a somewhat is some that will tie
in the ending. The ending will be the thesis statement that
covers what the next three paragraphs will be in and what order.
The impact of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
treatments using therapy over medications are willing to help
people understand how to help people with ADHD. With new
treatments or medication’s coming out every day, but what
would be good to know is the impact of the therapy of the
person with ADHD or how it may impact the parent or the
people around them. According to CBC Wed site, “Behavior
therapy can include behavior therapy training for parents,
behavior therapy with children, or a combination. Teachers can
also use behavior therapy to help reduce problem behaviors in
the classroom.” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
2019) Doctors tend to treat the ADHD as in prescribing them to
try therapy for the children as a first response, then followed by
medications if needed. Working with ADHD might be started
being treated or being treating without medications, and why
behavioral therapy.
3. Looking back at chapter four, a good way to revise the
introductory paragraph is to re-write it. In revising my
introductory paragraph I had to add a little more information
and re-write it.
ADHD or attention deficit hyperactive disorder is a mental
disorder that effects the lives of many children across the globe.
ADHD causes many behavior issues in the classroom, due to
condition children can lose focus on classwork quickly.
Although the disorder can be treated with medication and
patience from parents and educators, there are a few trends that
12. can effect children’s schooling. The main issue that seems to
affect children suffering with ADHD is behavior in the class
room. The most recent trends being inattentiveness in the
classroom, academic failure, and lack of participation. These
trends have a negative impact on children’s learning within the
class room and often causes them to fail classes.
