Why are we having our students revise? Sure, we want them to make their piece the best it can be! But, are we revising with a focus on the writer, or on the writing?

This episode will discuss two thoughts on the revision portion of the writing process:

1-Why do we revise and how can we make it effective for our writers?

2-When do writers revise

Melissa will share how the idea of "teaching the writer" is still vital and effective for revision as well as ways to choose revision strategies in your classroom.

If we want to get our students to write, we must teach them!

Happy Listening!
