Edit and Revision Strategies
The learner formulates a strategy for editing and revising written text.
Constructive Feedback
The learner composes constructive feedback of written texts.
Introduction:
All good writers revise and edit. Whether it is a document that will be widely read or for personal use, revision is an essential part of the writing process. The process of revising and editing involves more than using a spellchecker; it involves looking closely for opportunities to improve clarity, professionalism, and style.
The revision process involves seeking out opportunities for feedback. However, receiving ineffective feedback makes it difficult for writers to improve their writing, whether that feedback is too harsh, too vague, too overwhelming, etc. The goal of this assessment is to show how being purposeful in giving and receiving constructive feedback will greatly improve your overall writing skills.
In this task, you will make edits and suggest revisions for a piece of unedited, unrevised work. You will submit a marked-up copy of your chosen text along with a written response that provides feedback.
Requirements:
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
A. Select one of the following attached sample texts to revise and edit, and then submit the text with clearly designated markups of three revisions and five edits:
Note: The writing quality and similarity report matches the original, unedited document will not be evaluated.
Note: You can revise and edit the document by hand or by using an editing function on a word-processing document (e.g., Track Changes in Microsoft Word). The written responses to parts B, C, and D should not be written by hand.
B. Discuss the changes you made to the text in part A by doing the following:
1. Explain why each of the three marked revisions to the structure, content, and organization of the text were made.
2. Explain why each of the five marked edits to the grammar, punctuation, and word choice of the text were made.
C. Provide feedback to the writer of your chosen text by doing the following:
• Explain why the introduction is successful or unsuccessful at capturing your attention.
• Describe the greatest strength of the text.
• Describe the weakest part of the text.
• Explain whether the conclusion is successful or unsuccessful at bringing the text to a close.
D. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
E. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

Review of Buster Bronco’s Surf ‘n’ Turf Restaurant
Posted by User22
9/23/2021
Last week my wife wanted me to take her out to a nice seafood restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We went to Buster Bronco’s SurfnTurf and the following is my review. Which explains why I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. First of all, I will review the atmosphere at Buster Bronco’s. As most of you may know you could walk into this restaurant in pajamas and not feel too out of place. It is a very casual restaurant. The theme and decorations on the inside are what you’d expect for a seafood restaurant, like nets and scuba equipment. They even feature “Gus the talking Bass” by the entrance. These decorations make the dining experience feel authentic and fun. Onto to the topic of taste. Buster Bronco’s make an amazing fish taco. There is no getting around that. The fish tacos complete with seasoned warm fries on the side. Their shrimp dishes are also quite tasty and popular. No one is going to go hungry if they order the endless shrimp platter. I literally ate three plates of shrimp and they kept bringing me more. The overall look of the food is decent. Second, the service was meh, which is why I deleted a star. Our server seemed to be more interested in getting us outta there then helping us. She did bring us extra water and napkins without us asking. For most people cost will be a limiting factor in going out to eat. My wife thinks Buster’s is overpriced for how little food you get. I don’t think this is true because I always leave with a doggie bag that I eat the next day for lunch. So I am getting two meals for an average price of $20 an entrée. But hey it’s my opinion and you may disagree.
