Revision is an important part of the writing process that consists of two parts - higher order and lower order revision. Higher order revision focuses on content such as thesis, evidence, development and arrangement, while ensuring the work is tailored to the audience and purpose. Lower order revision addresses sentence-level elements like word choice, spelling, punctuation and grammar. Effective revision techniques include peer review, reading work aloud, and taking breaks between drafts.
