Revision can be fun!

June 22, 2014 by Mary Amato Leave a Comment


Check out this video made by a school after one of my interactive presentations about revision. After creating a rough draft, I asked students to revise for word choice, dialogue, details, plot, character development, setting, etc. The improvisation was so funny and full of great examples of living writing.
