One easy way to remember the difference is that revision often entails including new material that you didn't realize you needed or getting rid of material that doesn't fit, and editing is "fixing" existing text: grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, etc. Revision always precedes editing. Another word for editing is "proof-reading".
Today in class you'll be working in a randomly-drawn team of four. Each member of your team will have a different colored pencil to make marks on each of the four texts. Your job is to provide ideas for improvement in both revision and editing for your classmate's catalog entry. You'll also be working on your own text in the final rotation.
Use this marked-up draft as a tool for your final catalog entry submission, due this Thursday, March 12, at the start of class.
Remember to upload it to Populi; no need to print it out.

PS: I'll be the Writers Studio tutor on Wednesday from 9-3 and also on Thursday from 9-1.
