Self-review your rough draft using the ADAPT Revision Strategy!

Self-assessment is a purposeful tool to help you keep the rhetorical situation in mind. Revision doesn't happen by chance. Expert writers become accustomed to thinking rhetorically about revision; that is, they evaluate drafts of their texts by reflecting on the purpose, the audience, and the best possible use of strategies.

The ADAPT strategy is designed to remind you to keep your audience and type of text in mind. Use the ADAPT strategy questions to generate 2-3 concrete, actionable revision steps you will take to assess and then revise your writing to fit the context.
