In this revision strategy, you will summarize your whole composition in one paragraph and analyze the paragraph. 
  1. Read each paragraph and write a one-sentence summary of the paragraph. 
  2. Combine all those one-sentence summaries into one paragraph. This paragraph is a very basic outline of how your writing flows as currently constituted.
  3. Read the paragraph (out loud) and check it for unity, clarity, and logical progression. If there are any elements of the paragraph that seem out of place, illogical, or vague, revisit the section that sentence was based on and try to diagnose the issue. 

If there are any paragraphs that were difficult to summarize, pay special attention to what concerns may be causing this difficulty, such as organization, logic, or support.
