John handed his first draft into the teacher so she could check the spelling and grammar.
Just get your thoughts down first. You should focus on editing grammar and spelling until after the 2nd draft, at least. By then, you usually have everything in the right place, and are happy with the major details. Then you can freely focus on the small things. Doing major and minor edits usually don't mix well. Alwayscheck it at the end!
First, use a good spelling and grammar software program to catch the basic errors. Edit those to the correct forms. Next. read through the essay backwards - start at the end and read every word backwards to the beginning. That will help you to see errors that your spelling program might not have caught, like using "your" instead of "you're" or "two" instead of "to." Finally, read the essay out loud and make sure it sounds like proper English. With these three tricks, you'll catch almost every error in your essay!
When I first started this course when I heard of revising the first thing that came to my mind was "grammar", and "Spelling". I can not believe how far away from reality I was. That being said some of the components I will look for while revising is. Structure, Coherence, Tone and also grammar and spelling. If my essay is not well structured, then the audience may lose focus and interest on my essay. Same line with coherence. The information I wrote down must follow a specific order. If I have jumped around and the ideas do not make sense again the readers will get lost and stop reading the essay. With the tone I believe is a bit harder, because I need to do the job of the reader and stop thinking as the writer while I revise. I believe that a second set of eyes or ears may be a good option. Last but not least grammar and spelling, to make sure I am using the correct mechanics and punctuation.
In fact, Robert Lowth wrote "Short Introduction to English Grammar" in 1762 and it is seen as the first grammar book because there was a real explosion of grammar in the 1760's but the first real grammar book was written by William Bullokar. In 1586 Bullokar wrote "Pamphlet for Grammar" . Of course it wasn't as complete as Lowth's work but it is the first real English grammar book. Source: The Oxford History of English

Fix every spelling and grammar error you see - apex (: im watching....
Yes, it is. Michael Stackpole says the first draft is like digging a hole - just get the stuff down and don't worry about what it looks like. The second draft is where you do your editing for grammar, spelling/punctuation, and story lines. Most writers even do a third draft to catch what they missed in the second!

"Both of whom" is correct grammar. It is used when referring to two people. For example, "I invited John and Mary, both of whom attended the party."
The item that does not belong is "Proofreading for grammar and spelling errors." Rough drafts are not meant for proofreading; they are typically the first version of the writing that will be refined and revised later.
Drafting a paper typically involves brainstorming ideas, outlining your thoughts, and writing a first draft. It's important to revise your paper after completing the initial draft to refine your ideas, clarify your arguments, improve organization, check for grammar and spelling errors, and ensure that the paper meets the assignment requirements. It's best to allow enough time for both drafting and revising before the deadline to produce a high-quality final product.

First draft is generally a report or story to be corrected after the entire thing is finished. It is so that you have all of the content that needs to be included, but grammar and structure may need to be revised
