Revise ? What is that ?

The concept of revise or draft is vanishing in the children. They don't know that a finished product requires multiple revisions.

Even successful writers/researchers make several drafts of their work before they get it just right. Yet for children this is not the accepted practice. As a result their first work is their last, take it or leave it.

There is a way around this. All assignments should be done with following four steps

1. Make a list of points you want in the essay
2. Write one paragraph for each point - first draft
   
3. Read and correct what you just wrote
4. make final draft

This may teach them to reflect on their own words.
