Book Synopsis Revision Decisions by : Jeff Anderson
Download or read book Revision Decisions written by Jeff Anderson. This book was released on 2023-10-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revision is often a confusing and difficult process for students, but it's also the most important part of the writing process. If students leave our classrooms not knowing how to move a piece of writing forward, we've failed them. Revision Decisions: Talking Through Sentences and Beyond will help teachers develop the skills students need in an ever-evolving writing, language, and reading world. Jeff Anderson and Deborah Dean have written a book that engages writers in the tinkering, playing, and thinking that are essential to clarify and elevate writing. Focusing on sentences, the authors use mentor texts to show the myriad possibilities that exist for revision. Essential to their process is the concept of classroom talk. Readers will be shown how revision lessons can be discussed in a generative way, and how each student can benefit from talking through the revision process as a group. Revision Decisions focuses on developing both the writing and the writer. The easy-to-follow lessons make clear and accessible the rigorous thinking and the challenging process of making writing work. Narratives, setup lessons, templates, and details about how to move students toward independence round out this essential book. Additionally, the authors weave the language, reading, and writing goals of the Common Core and other standards into an integrated and connected practice. The noted language arts teacher James Britton once said that good writing floats on a sea of talk. Revision Decisions supports those genuine conversations we naturally have as readers and writers, leading the way to the essential goal of making meaning.

Book Synopsis Mini-lessons in Revision to Support the Writing Growth of Primary Grade Students by : Deborah J. Orgeman
Download or read book Mini-lessons in Revision to Support the Writing Growth of Primary Grade Students written by Deborah J. Orgeman. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research question addressed is, what do mini-lessons in revision look like that will support the writing growth of primary grade students? This capstone investigates the role revision plays in the writing process, what age to begin teaching revision, the strategies writers can be expected to revise for, and what types of work to revise. The Understanding by Design curriculum model was used to create mini-lessons in revision intended to be taught within a process oriented environment by means of Bereiter and Scardamalia's Compare, Diagnose, Operate method and procedural facilitation. The mini-lessons address what beginning writers will require to build a foundation of skills in revision. Rubrics and checklists are included as assessment tools. A mini-lesson template is available to aide in developing new lessons as students' writing abilities require additional support.

Book Synopsis Strategies and Character of Revision by : Sonja A. Brazell
Download or read book Strategies and Character of Revision written by Sonja A. Brazell. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many teachers would like to improve their students' writing. Revision is one of the crucial components of writing process in which students are particularly weak. This descriptive study focused on teaching students various strategies of revision through mini-lessons in the hope that students would use these strategies to produce better pieces of writing. I focused on the writing done in writer's workshop, and particularly on students who were working on short stories. The study took place in an honors sophomore English class and involved five students. Four mini-lessons on ideas/focus, organization, sentence structure, and word choice were taught, and data was collected through self-assessment sheets, conferences that were taped and transcribed, and rough to final drafts of writing. The data was analyzed by listing what strategies were used; by analyzing what changes were made over time; by developing a grid to look for any patterns; and by focusing on the areas of ideas/focus, organization, sentence structure, word choice, changes that "sounded better", editing, and global and local changes. The most obvious conclusion in this study of revision is that students must be taught how to revise. However, under this premise are many other insights. First of all, students need to have choice in that strategies of revision they choose to implement. This means that students must be exposed to many strategies in order to have choice. Also, students must have time to practice these strategies in class. Allowing time in class to revise emphasizes the importance of revision to the students, as well as provides time for students to play with the strategies and to see which will be beneficial to them. Futhermore, using literature to model the effects of revision can be helpful so students see concrete examples of what they are trying to accomplish in their own writing. Finally, students need to learn the vocabulary of writing in order to enable the teacher to technically explain what each student needs to work on and to assist the students in reflecting and evaluating their own writing."--Author's abstract.
