Revise Writing with Feedback

With guidance/support, focus on a topic, respond to questions/suggestions, and add or replace details to strengthen writing.

How the lesson starts: Revise Writing with Feedback

1. Kami paints words

   Hi friend! This is Kami the chameleon. Kami can change colors. Kami helps writing change too! Plain writing is gray. Details add color. Let's paint!

2. Answer the question

   Nia wrote, my cat is silly. Kami asks, what does she do? Nia adds an answer. She naps in my sock drawer! Now we can see it. A good detail answers the question.

3. Let's pick a detail

   The draft says, my dog is fun. The teacher asks, what does he do? He is fun to be with? That doesn't say what he does. I like ice cream? Off topic! Dogs have four legs? Not about this dog. He chases balls at the park. That answers it!
