I need an explanation for this Writing question to help me study.

SO YOU WILL COMPLETE THE REVISION WORKSHEET AND MAKE ANY CHANGES YOU PUT ON THE REVISION WORKSHEET TO THE ACTUAL PAPER AND UPLOAD BOTH BACK TO ME
Focus and Relevance
On a new sheet of paper, write down your thesis. Then, go through your paper paragraph by paragraph, and do the following:
- Check to make sure each paragraph is relevant to the thesis and is working well to support the thesis.
- Look for extraneous information that doesn’t really need to be there.
Note that this strategy also works to analyze individual paragraphs. In this case, use the topic sentence of each paragraph to compare to the other sentences in the paragraph.
Coherence and Balance
To help you determine the coherence and balance of your paper, copy and paste your thesis and all the topic sentences of your paragraphs into one paragraph.
- As you read, is there a logical flow of ideas and argument?
- Does the paragraph stay focused and balanced in its dealings with the various areas being covered? Or, are some sections of the paper given too much space, while other important areas remain underdeveloped?
