Agenda: 

• Revision Stations
  • ​What is a revision station? 
    
    • ​It is an area to guide you through making changes to your writing.
      
  • Why revise? 
    
    • ​To make sure your writing follows the project and formatting guidelines
      
    • To strengthen your writing and make it more clear
      
  • Remember A.R.M.S.
    
    • ​Add sentences and words
      
    • Remove words or sentences you don't need
    • Move words or sentences around
      
    • Substitute words or sentences for new ones
      
  • When a station says "Read"
    
    • ​Read carefully. Be thoughtful and pay attention to detail.
      
    • Take your time. When we rush, our work suffers as a result.
    • Reread again and again, even if you have read it once (or more) before, and even if you know all the words on the page because you wrote them.
  • Materials to Take With You:
    
    • ​Photo Essay Packet
      
    • Essay Draft
      
    • Pencil/Pen
  • Expectations:
    
    • ​Carefully read and follow directions for each station.
      
    • Take your time to reread.
      
    • Stay on task and at your station until time is up.
      
    • If you finish at your station before time is up, reread!
