Editing and Proofreading/Publishing and Presenting

Every week we advance a little in the composition process, and we have realized that it is not an easy task. It takes time and dedication to obtain a result easy for the reader to understand and that fulfills the author´s purpose. This week we studied the last stages: “Editing and Proofreading” and “Publishing and presenting” I am going to tell you a little about what I learned.

Editing and Proofreading:

In this stage, it is necessary to check that the words are spelled correctly. You can use various resources such as dictionaries to make sure that the words used are correct and the writing is consistent. It is important to capitalize names, places, organizations, and other proper nouns.

It is necessary to check your grammar; verbs must be correctly conjugated, capitalization and punctuation are important to have coherence (commas, periods, semicolons). All the above so that the writing can be error-free, which will allow the message to be effective and easy to understand.

Some symbols can help us in this process:

Publishing and Presenting:

In this Stage, our composition is ready; it has gone through all the necessary review processes. The composition is neat, error-free, and ready to be published.

As usual, I would like to share the activity of the class, this time it was a collaborative work in pairs and the homework of the week, where I talk about the topic: My opinion on living alone.
