Collaborative stories 2: Revising
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=222
A lesson plan for grade 2 English Language Arts
This lesson from ReadWriteThink engages students in a group-revising activity. Students demonstrate reading comprehension skills by suggesting revisions to a collaborative story draft. The emphasis of this activity is on revising for content, rather than editing for spelling errors or other language conventions. There are links to several resources, including an interactive “What is a Sentence” activity. This lesson is a follow-up to the ReadWriteThink lesson “Collaborative Stories 1: Prewriting and Drafting.”
