Revision is an important part of the writing process. Focus on revising topic sentences and details with the plan described here. This is part of a unit, so pupils have already filled out a graphic organizer about traveling libraries that is part of a bookmark project. The lesson lays out a plan for modeling and revision that asks writers to put their outlines into paragraph form as they improve their writing. This is a strategy that could be used outside of this unit.
