Revision Decisions

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.Â Revision DecisionsÂ will help teachers develop the skills students need in an ever-evolving writing, language, and reading world. Jeff Anderson and Deborah Dean have written a book that engages writers in the tinkering, playing, and thinking that are essential to clarify and elevate writing.
Â
Focusing on sentences, Jeff and Deborah use mentor texts to show the myriad possibilities that exist for revision. Essential to their process is the concept of classroom talk. Readers will be shown how revision lessons can be discussed in a generative way, and how each student can benefit from talking through the revision process as a group.Â Revision DecisionsÂ 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.Â Additionally, the authors weave the language, reading, and writing goals of the Common Core and other standards into an integrated and connected practice.Â
Â
The noted language arts teacher James Britton once said that good writing 'floats on a sea of talk.'Â Revision DecisionsÂ supports those genuine conversations we naturally have as readers and writers, leading the way to the essential goal of making meaning.
