Our "how-to" authors have been working so hard on revising and editing their books last week with their writing partners. We know how important revision and editing is, and we appreciate that our writing partners are there to help! Our writers came up with a checklist. These are the things they found important:
1. Have a "catchy" and interesting introduction
2. Add appropriate punctuation
3. Make sure each step make sense
4. Add more details if need be
5. Have finger space between words
6. Check spelling
7. Check and fix letters that are written backwards by mistake
8. Use capital letters and lower case in the right place
9. Check the ending - does it have a nice closure?
After two days of thorough revising and editing with our writing partners, our authors have finally begun publishing today. These books will be shared with parents and families on June 6, 2012, our End-of-Year Portfolio Celebration. So stay tuned!
