1. Sommers states that revising's primary objective is finding the form or shape of the argument. In other words - finding a "frame work, a pattern, or design".
3. In my own words I think that the difference between speech and writing is that when you are speaking about something it is coming out right off the top of your brain and not very much thinking is done. When you are writing about something, you have some time to brainstorm and think about what you are going to write about.
5. I think that Sommers is trying to say something like - writers don't have a certain set pattern in their writing. I think that she means writing should be done from what you think about and you should no have some straight line process from beginning to end and that experienced writers write this way.
7. I think that students got the idea from all of their English teachers that they have had growing up. It does match the way I have been taught about writing and revising.
