Lesson on Revision
Today made me really think about revision in my class. Do I ever use it? I know I use it with my own writing, but it's kind of my own made up way to revise. With my students...we write to learn all the time...but I don't think that I have the students ever go back to revise. I am going to implement more of this. I also like the thought of taking away the negative connotation that comes with the word REVISION....I had come to view it as a way to change my grammar and now I know thats not what it is at all. Enjoyed my readers group today too. We have alot of good discussions and it helps me realize that we all are human, and deal with things that happen in our classrooms. I am starting to feel more comfortable as the days go on with sharing my work, because this environment is beginning to feel very safe.

ReplyDeleteIsn't this lovely, having such a nurturing environment to share and learn? I am enjoying this class immensely! I appreciate your comments!
ReplyDeleteBrea I totally agree! I do a lot of different writing in my classroom but I do not revise. I do see the benefit of that revision process that would possibly bring our discussions to a more in depth level and possibly we could dig a little deeper.
