2. In my classroom, it looks like students self-selecting areas of focus that THEY need help with and discussing/exchanging with peers.]]> 2018-04-17 15:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252626694 What is Revision? https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252626829 It is looking at a piece of writing and making the necessary adjustments in order to progress to the publishing stage. It is answering the question: Is this what I want to communicate?


]]> 2018-04-17 15:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252626829 Revision can be a difficult process in my classroom. Students often write and want to say "I'm done!". I want students to be open and willing to take another look at their work with different lenses during revision. https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627033 2018-04-17 15:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627033 https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627127 It is looking at a piece of writing and making sure it sounds right.]]> 2018-04-17 15:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627127 What is revision https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627321 Taking a fresh look at your writing and trying to make it better - maybe more exciting, more clear, more emotional-depends on the topic.]]> 2018-04-17 15:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627321 What is looks like is me guiding students through a process using standard "rules." I'd certainly like to make it more fun. Rarely is our first draft our best. https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627988 2018-04-17 15:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252627988 https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252628200 Revision to me is making their writing better, which sometimes happens by kids reading their papers out loud to a peer or a peer reading their paper out loud to someone else.  It is hard work, and something that kids in 4th grade have a hard time with.  ]]> 2018-04-17 15:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252628200 It's looking at something again and seeing where improvements, additions, or deletions can be made. I want my students to really embrace this and drop this "I wrote it, and it's perfect!" attitude about writing. https://padlet.com/aswords/b7lowwx0yjup/wish/252628256
