Writing - Revision

We are finishing up our drafts now. We have learnt that authors reveal something important in their writing. We tried to implement this strategy by thinking about an important idea we can reveal or something that we discovered about ourselves in the story. We have organized our draft, with a good beginning, middle and end. And now it is time to REVISE!

Authors revise their writing to add more meaning and make it more interesting to the reader. Today we practiced adding dialogue into our drafts. Dialogue makes our story more meaningful and exciting. It fills in information that we have not included and will help our reader understand emotions in the story.

At home, we will be continuing to look at our draft and add dialogue.

Next week we will be working on other revision strategies: adding voice and feelings to help us understand author; adding description and interesting words.
