Revision Strategies of students Writers and Experienced Adult Writers

In this article it’s about going back onto your writing and rereading to make your point clearer to the reader. Gordon Rohman suggests that the composing processes moves from prewriting to writing to rewriting. James Britton’s model on the other hand states that the writing process as stages being described as metaphors. In the article they also did studies on a teenager and got that the teenager doesn’t really revise nor expect much out of their writing believing there paper is already good like many of us young teens. Experience writers hav4e their own and very common strategies that strong writers they are able to go back reread and try to connect and to relate to their writing to make it more understandable to the reader. Some writers also tend to ask themselves questions like what is needed to help improve their paper or what is not needed this making them to edit or delete parts of their paper to help get there point across.

Question: How are student writers similar or different from experience writers?

Response: Student writers are similar to experience on the base that both have a certain reason to write rather it being for a grade or a book to be published both are pushed into writing and making sense out of their paper. The difference is the strategies among the two one is not deep into the revising or trying to get deeper into the writing as the other.
