1. Revising
and
Editing

2. What is the difference between revising a text, and editing a text?

3. Revise
Revision means change. When you revise you are replacing, adding, deleting, or reordering your text.
This may involve moving or removing entire paragraphs or sentences, extending or narrowing ideas, rewriting vague or confusing text, and adding to existing paragraphs.
If you are revising, then you are looking for alternatives, different ways to write what's already written, or possibly taking something out or adding something new.

4. Edit
Editing is the process writers use to catch errors typical to their own writing
When you edit, you address problems with spelling, grammar, punctuation, or word choice.
When editing, the writer must carefully read each word. Word choice is a crucial factor.
If needed, the author should use a thesaurus or dictionary when editing

Something a little different today...we are going to make ANCHOR CHARTS!

Anchor charts are a great way to make thinking visible as you record strategies, processes, cues, guidelines and other content during the learning process.
