We are in the process of writing our own stories now. After they are written, we will need to revise them. Revising is different from editing. Editing includes capitalization, punctuation, spelling, complete sentences, and verb usage. Revising is changing, deleting, or improving words. It also includes moving sentences around. It might be adding several forgotten details.
Revising is really hard. It means admitting our story isn't perfect and can be improved. It also takes time and thinking. Revising is also really messy.To practice this, we revised our Zombie Attack! story. I would read a sentence aloud, one at a time, and they would have to decide if it could stay or if it needed improvement. If it needed improvement, we asked for several suggestions and chose one. Here is one way our story could be revised for improvement.
