Jeff Anderson: Revision Decisions: An Evening of Talking Through Writing, Revising, and Grammar
Talking Through Sentences and Beyond
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 will help teachers develop the skills students need in an ever-evolving writing, language, and reading world. The book that engages writers in the tinkering, playing, and thinking that are essential to clarify and elevate writing.
- Focusing on sentences, Jeff and Deborah use mentor texts to show possibilities that exist for revision. Classroom talk is essential to their process.
- Readers will be shown how revision lessons can be discussed in a generative way, and how students 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. The authors weave the language, reading, and writing goals of the Common Core Standards into an integrated and connected practice!
