Revising Your Argument

Just as you would revise and edit any piece of writing, you’ll want to be sure to spend time revising and editing your argument.

First, it’s important to remember that revising and editing are different steps in the process. When you revise, you’re making changes to content, organization, source material, and more. When you edit, you’re making changes at the sentence level and looking for things like grammatical errors, punctuation errors, and typos.

Both of these will be an important part of your argumentative process.
