Redefining Revision for Freshmen.

Wallace, David L.; Hayes, John R.

Research in the Teaching of English, v25 n1 p54-66 Feb 1991

Investigates the impact of task definition on students' revising strategies. Finds that texts written by students who receive instruction on global revision are judged both to be of significantly better quality and include significantly more global revisions than students who were simply asked to make the text better.
