Lesson
Revising Writing for Clarity-Correct
1 Spelling

Writing represents the ideas, feelings, and point of views in a readable form. It is
important to know how to communicate the point quickly and professionally. Revision is a
process in writing that involves rearranging the paragraphs, sentences, and words. Spelling
of words is one of the major things we need to consider in writing to have a concise and
clear message or output.

What’s In

Color the heart if the sentence tells something true about writing paragraph.

1. A basic paragraph consists of three parts.

2. The main idea of the paragraph is in the concluding sentence.
3. Supporting details elaborate further and prove the topic sentence.
4. A paragraph discusses two or more ideas.
5. The first sentence in every paragraph should be indented.
6. A paragraph does not follow a basic format.
7. Topic sentence relates to the over-all focus of the paragraph.
8. The topic sentence is always found in the first sentence of the paragraph.
9. Supporting details should be drawn from a variety of sources.
10. Concluding sentence should end with a final statement that ties together the
ideas.

Notes to the Teacher

The teacher must consider the prerequisite skills needed in the
development of this competency including the schema or background
knowledge which may reinforce learning. This module will help the
learners bridge the gap of learning to attain mastery of the lesson in its
spiral progression.

What Is It
Discussion

Revision is a process of changing some specific words (especially the correct

spelling of words) in the text. It is an essential way to obtain good writing with clarity.
Clarity is the core of all writing. Writers put effort in the hopes that their words will be
read and understood. But one spelling mistake in every word may change the entire
message of the written work. Therefore, revision for writing promotes a clear and
concise output. One misspelled word can change the entire meaning of the
sentence.

6
 Correct spelling is important to deliver clarity in writing. It produces concise
and clear messages. The writers written output will be recognized well by the reader
if the words are spelled correctly.
But misspelled words can give a negative effect to the reader. Misspelled
words may give misinterpretation/misunderstanding to the message the writer
wanted to say. It will create confusion to the readers because of lack of precision and
clarity of thought.
Some techniques in spelling words correctly are:
1. Find your spelling mistakes – take your writing and try to find spelling mistakes
- ask someone else to read your work and mark your errors.
2. Record the corrected spellings of words in a notebook.
3. Review the spellings regularly.
4. Consult the dictionary.
