Topical Knowledge and Revising.

Kearns, Michael

Journal of Teaching Writing, v9 n2 p195-207 Fall-Win 1990

Discusses a study of writing revision in which all the writing done in two sections of a writing course was collected and draft-to-draft revisions were studied. Suggests that revision depends as much on acquisition of topical knowledge as on level of cognitive development. (SR)
