(for the writer)

are not clear? (put a ? by unclear parts)

Question Yourself.
COHERENCE:
1. Have I used proper pronouns that refer to their antecedents?
2. Have I used appropriate synonyms of words to avoid monotony?
3. Are there appropriate transitional markers?
4. Have I achieved parallelism in the pattern of my sentences or words?
UNITY:
1. Does every detail I have selected support the main idea?
2. Have I organized the supporting details in the most logical way?
3. Have I included any sentences that are unnecessary because they simply restate the main
point without adding any new information or meaning?
4. Have I made the relationships between my ideas clear?

Plan. Look back. What parts do I want to change? Write two or more questions for my
editor.
