REVISING & EDITING 6 th Grade ELA

STANDARDS W.6.5 With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. L.6.1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. L.6.2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. Use punctuation (commas, parentheses, dashes) to set off nonrestrictive/parenthetical elements.* Spell correctly.

REVISING Revising is finding & correcting problems with content; changing the ideas in your writing to make them clearer, stronger, and more convincing. Revising looks at the “Big Picture”—the Idea level.

REVISION STRATEGIES Look for Unity Does everything refer back to main point? Does each topic sentence refer to the thesis? Does each sentence in each body paragraph refer back to the topic sentence? Detail and support Does each body paragraph contain at least two examples? Is each example followed by at least one supporting detail? Coherence Are all points connect to form a whole? Are transitions used to move from one idea to the next?

A.R.R.R.!!!!!!! Adding Rearranging Removing Replacing Adding: Is there any other information that the reader needs to know? Rearranging: Is the information presented in the most logical order? Removing: Are there any unnecessary details? Replacing: Could I change anything to make my expressions stronger?

REVISION TIPS Take a break from your draft before attempting to revise. Read your draft out loud and listen to your words. Imagine yourself as your reader. Look for consistent problem areas. Get feedback from peers. Get help from group member!

EDITING Editing is finding and correcting problems with grammar, style, word choice & usage, and punctuation. Editing focuses on the “Little Picture”—Word level.

EDITING STRATEGIES Keep an Error Log in your Writing Goals Section to help you identify your problem areas and improve your writing. This would be something to help you grow personally as a writer. When editing, review your paper for one type of error at a time; don’t try to read through looking for everything at once.

EDITING TIPS Work with a clean printed copy, double spaced to allow room to mark corrections. Read your essay backwards. Be cautious of spell-check and grammar-check. USE A DICTIONARY/WRITE SOURCE. Read your essay out loud. Get feedback from peers. Work with a group member!

EDITING Self Editing Peer Editing Things you’ll look for! Spelling Capitalization Punctuation Grammar Sentence Structure Subject/Verb Agreement Word Usage

SELF-REVIEW You should never move to peer review without first completing a self-review (revising & editing); you want your peer to look for mistakes that you were unable to catch yourself! After you have reviewed your own work, make the necessary corrections and print a clean, revised copy before moving on to peer review.

PEER-REVIEW It is important to make the peer review process useful. Basics of useful feedback: It is given in a positive way It is specific It offers suggestions It is given both verbally and in writing
