Next Step…

Write the first draft of your manifesto.

Edit and Revise• Editing and Revising usually

happen at the same time…• Take a look at your first draft,

read what you have written

Edit and Revise• Check your spelling,

sentence structure, grammar, capitalization

• Rearrange sentences or paragraphs as you read to make the writing more cohesive and clear
