Summary:

There are many different ways why students revise in very different way from an experience writer. A student while writing will think of beginning, middle and an end. Mostly everyone thinks this way. In a student writer they think gust to do enough gust to get the teacher. So the teacher will think that he did his work. But when reading off an experienced writer they are trying to make the reader think of something and make them or try to make them think in different way. They even try to help the reader imagine something, like if he was looking at a movie while reading. They will not repeat things like unskilled students would have. Students have to write the article with a purpose to do so not because you have to do it, but because you want to get a point to the reader. Many skilled writers can get a point throw the reader because they have experienced more things than a student. Its like watching a movie and writing about it. It is going to be easier because you have already experienced it. Until you do so you will be able to be an experienced adult writer.



Question:

What is the difference revision strategies of student writers and experienced adult writers?



Response:

There are many different reasons between the experiences adult writer and the student writer. Some of my reasons why skilled writers are better on revising there strategies. Because they have experienced more things than the student has. They have gone through ever mistake in the books while writing. The way they knew they had a mistake was by reading over what they gust wrote to see if they wrote. Could make sense to him. By either imagining what he is writing. Or even telling someone else what is wrong with his article he wrote. That way he will understand what he has wrong. The writer can even ask if the reader, by changing his mind on something. That are some of the few from many, why experienced writers are different form student writers while revising.
