Now let’s continue our review of steps in the writing process, supported by resources from and .

The word re-vision means to “look again.” When revising a piece of writing, what are some things to look for?

  • Lesson Plan “”—Using a collaborative story written by students, the teacher leads a shared-revising activity to help students consider content when revising, with students participating in the marking of text revisions.
  • Lesson Plan “”—Students create a checklist outlining what effective writers do, revise his or her own writing, and engage in a written conversation to help peers with the revision process.
  • Lesson Plan “”—Interpreting art is a subjective process. In this lesson, students write written responses analyzing a work of art and use feedback from their peers to revise or confirm their initial responses.
  • Lesson Plan “”—After reading or viewing The Diary of Anne Frank, students will make connections between audience and purpose and revise a journal entry with an outside audience in mind.
  • Lesson Plan “”—Students use fractured fairy tales to practice revision and editing as separate activities when they write their own versions of fairy tales.
