Summary: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. Revision Decisions 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. Focusing on sentences, Jeff and Deborah use mentor texts to show the myriad.

Description
Summary:Revisions can be confusing and difficult for students; many young writers believe the process is just looking for grammatical errors, but it is so much more. In Revision Decisions: Talking Through Sentences and Beyond, authors Jeff Anderson and Deborah Dean create a book to help teachers simplify the revision process and start building students' writing and reading skills.<br> <br> <br> <br> In this book, Anderson and Dean use mentor texts to show the myriad possibilities that exist for revision. You will also find: How students find the "why" by talking through revisions during group and classroom discussions Easy-to-follow lessons and exercises to lead student discourse during rewrites and make challenging writing processes accessible Teacher Tips to help apply new knowledge and develop both the writer and the writing Reading and writing practices that keep the goals of Common Core and other standards in mind <br> <br> The noted language arts teacher James Britton once said that good writing "floats on a sea of talk." Revision Decisions supports those genuine conversations we naturally have as readers and writers, leading the way to the essential goal of making meaning.
