Not enough time for one-on-one conferences to edit
Joyful and empowering experience
Hear someone else's voice 
Encourage students to ask questions about their peer's writing

10. Strategies for Revising
Use a teacher passage to allow the students to add more interesting words or delete unnecessary words.
Example:
Create an "adding wand" and "deleting wand."  Have the students use the wand to point to the spot in your writing where they feel you could add a  better word or delete a word.
They could use these wands and strategies when they work in pairs during writing as well.

11. Strategies for Revising
Create an Author's Chair for students to read their work aloud.  Model how to give appropriate, well-said feedback.  The purpose of letting students read aloud and listen to passages are:
1. Comprehension using listening is much more developed than comprehension by reading.
2. Sight decoding is enhanced in reading aloud.
3. Listening to a passage is more effective for students to identify word choice and fluency.
After students share their work, whether in pairs or in the Authors Chair, provided time for the students to revise their work based on the feedback they received.

12. Switch!: Revising and Editing Stations
Students will visit stations set up around the room. At each station students will complete a task card related to revising and editing based on the 6+1 Traits:
1. Word Choice 2. Ideas and Content 3. Organization 4. Sentence Fluency 5. Voice 6. Conventions
